Could the altenator be connected up in reverse? dont know if this is possible as never examined it on a scoob, so therefore may not be charging the battery up.

Personally though I would go somewhere that carry out battery checks, they can check if it is the battery of the alternator and then you would have an idea of where to look.
Also check for things like lights staying on (in the boot for instance - again though cant remember if they have one)

Also meant to say check the earths, as these can go bad with age.

Yeah check the earths - most car electrical problems are to do with earthing. Make sure the engine is earthed... Just started working with scoobys myself so not sure where the engine earth is tho
