Right so went back out today and the charge at the battery is 13.7 with nothing on, dropping to 13.1 with everything on. Output from the alternator terminal, probing the ring connector and the alternator body shows as 14.4-14.5v, so clearly the alternator isnt the issue.

What would this be indicative of?

I wouldnt imagine theres a wiring fault in the engine loom as that was removed from my Saxo which was running perfectly. Battery +ve cable or ground cable? I checked the resistance between the battery -ve and the engine block, showing up as ~60Ω.

Thanks in advance.
