You need a big earth to run from the chassis/-battery to the block,the thermo housing has 2 nice large m8 or m6 bolts on the side that attach it to the block use them.

No, most important earth is the one from the chassis to the thermostat. Then the ECU takes all its earth's from the two in the intake plenum. Provided those are all ok it should charge.

Right checked the amp draw on the battery worked out at 32.4, and was comming from the ignition circuit

checked the fusues in dash and no change on 32.4

pulled a immobilizer fuse and it went down to 19 amps

Then pulled the amp fuse from the lighter socket which is also connected to the immobilizer and it went up to 72 amps, what the fuc@ is that about

very confused now lol
