Does anyone know what else this could be?
Also when i was taking the old one off, i got a shock when i went to pull the 2 pin plug off (No i hadnt disconnect the battery yet
). Could this mean a short or something?Thanks Simon

WTF alternator
Ok just replaced my alternator with another one and unless that one is F^&Ked as well then i still have a problem. Turned car on, put on a/c and full beams, the volt meter dropped to like 9 volts.

If your idle speed is too low, the alternator won't put out much at all. Try bringing the revs up a fraction with the throttle and see if the volt meter pops up a bit more. If that's the case, there's an idle adjustment on the throttle body...
Not sure about the shock from the plug...
