what voltage are you getting at idle v when the engine is revving? Sounds like the alternator isn't giving enough power but if it was working fine before the garage work, not sure why it would suddenly break afterwards..

12.7. but my battery did end up draining to a flat. what puzzles me is that when I rev the lights go off. I just thought it would have been a short circuit or something :/
