My import rev3 N/A has had some charging issues latley. Voltmeter needle moving alot when reving high and sitting arpund half way when idling. When running with lights and radio on it needs high revs to stop the car dying. Changed the battery and no joy all i can put it down to is alternator or some...

Oh, well its been sitting just over half way and when I rev it moves up the gauge, but like I said ive taken the prev owners word the alternator has packed up, but found problems with the wiring whilst stripping the alternator off the car,

I may have the chance to go and view a rev3 this weekend, not much info on the add other than millage at 113,115 and the alternator has packed up.
