    There is a post that has been going on for a while very recently.
    It boils down to your alternator mate

    it is the wires that are connected to the alternator that is causing the problems.

    I had this problem on my mr2. the alternator then died after around 3 weeks.

    It is the flux breaking down at high revs due to the insulation on the windings or rotor breaking down.
