Default Good auto Electrician in Hertfordshire (Stevenage) needed

Hello all. As the title says I need a decent auto electrician who knows about the older cars. I have a charging issue on my 65 Amazon and the two mechanics I've taken it to don't really know what they are looking at. If anyone can suggest someone that would be great.
Thanks
Joe

Simple really

Use a multi meter attach to battery run car see what battery is getting + volt wise that shows if it’s working or not

Then if it is fine

If not then go through each phase and check connections and it’s really if connections ok down to the dyno / alternator and then voltage regulator it’s not rocket science 😎👍

Did you manage to get someone to establish if your dynamo is charging?
