) I'm onto trying to iron the less important problems out.I've had a quick search for these on the forum but if there is something I've missed then if you could link me to the relevant thread I'd be much obliged.
This has all happened since the new gear box was fitted.
Whenever I drain a lot (the heaters on their own do it, but lights plus brake lights plus indicating will also put it on dimly.) of power the battery charge light comes on, now obviously my first thought was the Alternator, but I had a friend check it (by measuring the voltage across the battery after ideling and then with the heaters \ lights on etc...) and the battery charge wasn't affected (and I've driven a good 600 miles since many at night so with the lights on and have had no problems with dim lights \ poor starting.) so I presume all is fine there.
I'd add this to a problem I've had with the occasional occurrence of the low coolent level warning light, which has occasionaly gone through periods of being on then off fora few seconds but has only happened three times in those 6800 miles.
Now the coolent level is hasn't dropped a bit, but what puzzeled me was there wasn't a single wire around the expansion tank, so where abouts is the coolent level measured? I'd presume its circulating as (touch wood) I've never had the oil temperature light on or anything of the sort.
The reason I'd group these two together is the few people I've talked to have all mentioned bad earths, in connection with the replaced gear box.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this, I'm just somewhat paranoid about it being major, although if it was I'm sure she wouldn't have got me as far as she has.
Other then that she's been a joy to drive, I'm almost a convert from the blue oval.
