Navara D40 Alternator

My friend is having a few woes with his Navara
His alternator died, had ~11v running with the battery light on. So he got a replacement off fleabay.
He has put that in, the battery light remains on and the charging voltage is 15.x volts - way too high.
So he msg'd the seller who sent another alternator to him straight away pretty much. He took the car apart tonight, put the 2nd replacement on.
Same 15.x volts, still way too high, battery light still glowing.
To me this is still a dead regulator, but, odd he has received two alternators from the same seller with the same symptom. the plug has S and D which is sense and diode. Plug only goes in one way, its definately correct. has 12v on sense. I couldnt get him to check the D to see what thats doing, can't remember if its pulled to ground or energised to light the globe in the dash.
He even put his original alternator back on and sure enough back to ~11v and battery light still on.
Thoughts/comments welcome.
