As above now beena bit of a saga this shit

Now my problem is this at night when driving about my battery light is faintly on and gets worse when doing anything like pressing windows etc etc and especially for some reason when pushing the brake pedal

Suddenly the car lights will just get dull when driving like a surge or somethings happened if you get what i mean , brand new battery and alternator , and re-fixed the blue wire onto back of alternaor as well but still no joy ? Thought about running a negative of battery to earth/body as i seem to have alot of cables conneced to postive side of battery and only one to negative side ? who knows it was just a thought , this is really pi$$ing on my chips , any advice welcome , also on start up i need to give it some revs to get battery light to go off , failing any this its going into a auto electrician asap

 

Rab..take of the turbo heat sheild and inspect wireing lom that runs down the chassis leg...

Mine had melted and was causing all kinds of funny faults.

Oil pres and battery light used to come and go for fun.

 

Ok mate think the 3 doors must be different mines doesn`t have the loom down the chassis leg like my old saff , it comes up the side of wing , had been melted there before slightly , plastic sleeving on a few cores had melted that i found, when had a problem with my brake servo thing , were tapped up inside loom thing this could be a link to my grief >? mmm wil blue wire live in there too now theres an idea

 

think most of these things run together mate

Get on the case

 

Wheres my torch

Just have to wait till tomorrow now , dam it ! no patience me

Might be on to something though

 

i had a similar prob mate..

battery light stopped working an oil press light used to come and go..

was a dodgy loom where it was burnt.

 

how about tightening the fan belt? aways does it for me!!
