Thanks for your help Martin - great to hear about your experience with the engine.
What I am trying to avoid is just replacing parts willy nilly. The car always starts first turn and everything electrical appear to be working fine - AC, headlights, stereo etc.
The battery light is fairly consistently on over around 65, but not always.
Is there an easy way to monitor the voltage as you suggest at the end of your post? if there was some gizmo I could plug into the cigarette lighter that would be a boon.
Perhaps I should just carry a brand new spare battery in the boot;-)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and many thanks again.
