Its deffinatly the reg though, i have tested the output terminals and there is no voltage there

Have you tested the alternator output? People tend to get target fixation when it comes to electrical problems on nc's: "oh, it's not charging, must be the regulator" when actually it could also be the alternator.

Thanks Amorti

All 3 phases of the alternator are generating voltage and the resistance between the windings is ok,
I got a new reg rec and new battery coming saturday so hopefully everything should run fine :pray:
