Bad earth ... check earth straps from battery to body, engine to body and chassis ... adding more is not a problem!

Also (sounds daft but bear with me) check the routing of the handbrake cable and the end fittings. When the normal earths corrode the handbrake cable often shorts out, gets warm and causes all sorts of 'odd' little electrical niggles ...

Hi paul,
many thanks. i shall bear the the big freeze and check it out.

thanks
