After trips to the auto electrician and Matt's help the nasty electrical issues seemed to have gone away... for good i hope!

 

(New alternator and connectors)

 

Have some time off next week so treated it to some new cleaning products and going to give it a decent clean and look at the under seal!

Didn't start, battery not charging, loose of electrics...

 

Oh I see, a rather cut and dry situation.

 

I always take an interest in people's electrical problems and their fixes as they can be hardest to diagnose and sort, just incase I get simular issues.

 

Glad it's starting again!
