Should be higher then that at 2000rpm.
Get it rebuilt or put a Patrol 90 amp Alternator in.

I had a question, seemed to of cut me off? Oh well...
Anyway, it's flicking on and off, meaning it'll be a crappy charge at 9v and maybe reach 12 or 13 over 2 g. But then randomly, all the lights will start working again, the stereo comes back on, and when I check with a multimeter, it'll have 12.5 on idle and 14.1 anything higher than 1g revs. Which is obviously normal. So there's a wire or something playing up. But now I just can't bloody figure it out.

I had an alternator in a car that did that when the brushes were really badly worn and only intermittently made contact. I have no idea if yours has brushes or if it does, if the brushes are replaceable. If they aren't, it's a new alternator you'll be needing and if you have to, get one with higher output - but make sure the rectifier and regulator are included. There's no point getting an alternator that can pump 90A if your regulator/rectifier can only handle 50A.
Other than that, check that the electrical connectors are clean and not corroded. Take them apart and inspect them.
