went for a drive and...

...put the old heater on and get nothing,bugger!get to where i was goin ,checked the fuse,it was blown changed it all well and good it works.
Right, when i was driving home i noticed when i was braking all the needles on the guages were dropping charge,temp and fuel.tek me foot off the brake they return to normal positions...anybody got any ideas?
motor is a 1988 110 na diesel sw

Well its a dodgey wire or earth somewhere...

I would check the brake pedal switch wiring where it runs into the loom, could be the heater fused because of a short where a wire rubbed through, melted something, several wires melted/rubber through...

I think your going to need to be patient with a meter this weekend.
