Needs to measure the current drain from battery with everything off.
If it has a high drain current then disconnect alternator, if drain
current reduces the alternator charging circuit has blown.

.... Seems to have been the right answer (well plus possibly other
things, not got that far yet).

I towed it in with mate yesterday and he got it up on the ramp today
and removed the alternator cable. High current drain goes away. ;-)

He will find him another alternator on Monday and go from there (it
started and ran ok with the alternator disconnected).
