Re your battery - which terminals are you measuring at and is the engine running ?

 

hello steve

need to find my way to technical bit! Engine is running and was measured on both terminals by a mechanic who told me 13.2.

That's on the low side. I'd post details on your X type section.

I went to the garage, they did further checks and found the alternator was not working at 2000rpm. New one fitted, will keep you posted,
