corrosion on bcem plug(needs cleaning) has caused this fault before-irish rover should be able to tell you more

CHEERS fanatic i must admit its a newun on me,thanks for the help will check asap ...dave

BY the way what do you suggest wd40 or switch cleaner ...dave

Switch cleaner every time, wd is death to connections.

CHEERS fanatic will get some first thing, thanks again mate.....dave

Also possibly bad connections on the alternator itself.

Definately switch cleaner. Clean and check connections to alternator & BECM also the earth leads around the engine bay. Use one of those brass bristle wire brushes..toothbrush size and make sure the battery is disconnected first so you don't short out across pins !!
Work the BECM connectors in & out to ensure the cleaner gets worked onto the contacts.

THANKS lads ,sorry @ not replying sooner been to hospital with the missis,it takes it out of her so i gotta do me bit ,day to get some stuff done thurday so hopefully get it sorted......thanks for the help...dave
