sorry to hi-jack your post, could you tell me if the wire you are talking about is the one that bolts onto back of the starter and has a red and black wire coming out the same terminal? If so, is it just a live and an earth?

thats the one! The wires originaly coming off the starter were join together? Thats what confused me because surely you cant have positive & negative going to the same connection!!

looked into it a bit, i reckon you have one of the wires going to the battery and the other goes to the alternator to supply it with 12v
