Don't you just love Cossies, mine just past its MOT but on the way over to garage the red battery light came on and the fuel gauge and temp gauge dropped to nothing. Dash fuses are OK so something wierd happening there.
Altenator is 5 months old but lost one already due to overheating - first place to look I guess.
