Good find, Mudski. Electricity is a myth. Everything runs on magic smoke, and it looks like the smoke has escaped from the system.
Are your spotties after market?
The reading is a little on the high side, but a fully charged battery should handle it overnight.
Unplugged but belt on. A very long time ago (decades) I think had the main output disconnected and started the engine. It blew the regulator by the time I got out of the cab and realised my mistake...
Do not run the engine with the alternator disconnected. I destroyed one once, doing just that. With the multimeter connected in series with the negative to earth (do it on the 10 amp setting), there...
If all the aux stuff is ok, then a common component failure is the alternator regulator diodes.
If you intend to keep the AC in working order, its better to get the system drained and the faulty seal or compressor replaced ASAP. The tech will evacuate any air and moisture from the system,...

I found the radius of the windscreen corners were cut too deeply so the rubber couldn't seal properly. I ran a thin bead of sikaflex all round the...

Yeah the bolts were tight but the rubbers were compressed and hard.
