...and I can't get near to check.

I've got some random electrical issues with my newly recommissioned cerbera.

Just ran her up to temperature to check for leaks and noticed that the indicators are slightly illuminated, same with dash indicator lights. When it got up to temp fans came on but very slowly, barely keeping the temp under 100. At this point I'm thinking earth issue. Idle starts to slow so I grab multi meter and check voltage at battery, 12.2v. Hmm now I'm thinking big fuse or alternator. I've replaced the big fuse as part of the refurb, I've also had the front earth and passenger wheel arch earth off while I've been refurbing chassis rails.

Anything else I should be checking?

Alternator wiring, voltage regulator, engine earth, recheck big fuse, earth wire that goes up into the transmission tunnel and connects behind the console.

If there is poor voltage at the battery, and your wiring is correctly reinstated then I would suspect alternator/voltage regulator.
