I figured the green plug connected to something that would have mounted to the bracket at the top of the picture. It was covered in black gunk and wasn't even slightly green until I wiped that off. It doesn't connect to the alternator tho - it's way too short.
I was thinking I would have to take the old one off. I think it can be done without the alternator coming off but it's very, very tight for space and it might be easier to just remove the alternator first.
Battery is fairly new, terminals are good (I checked them over when fitting the battery). Charging voltage is also good at idle, but as the fault is only reproducible when the vehicle is being driven, the only easy way I'm going to be able to get a voltage reading is from the cigarette lighter or radio connections. So maybe that's next on the troubleshooting list.
