Worked around the loom to find the cause and found that if the rectifier is unplug, the battery stops draining, which brings me to the conclusion that it just 'could' be a duffed rectifier. then again it could be the three yellow wires between the reg and the alternator thingy.

a second-hand replacement is on the way to try the theory this wknd...

Is it possible for a rectifier to 'deteriorate'
