If the light was on before you replaced the alternator, a poor earth or connection somewhere might be the cause and the alternator might not be faulty.

Check the connections to the alternator, also was it a genuine alternator or aftermarket?

Right I don't have a proper voltage tester but got a one that checks the battery and alternator battery has came back as fine but alternator came as faulty so looks like the second rate alternator from eBay is no good I've ordered new one from a friend that works in a ford dealers so when I get it it'll be changed will keep you guys posted
