Alternator output today seems to be running at 13.1 - 13.2? @ 3000 RPM With the air con on down to 12.8 and at idle 11.8 seem's very low. Do you lot think that I need to change the Alternator?

Could be going tits up but I would check the earths first and the security of the wires to the battery &alternator

Would also check the security of the alt 80amp fuse too.
Bad/loose connection will go bad creating charge problems
