Then bingo its working all lights on started. but then every so often the warnig lights come on battery fuel overheat and dials drop down with a clicking from under my seat but car drove ok any help sorry so long winded

Drop test the battery, connect a multi-meter to the +ve /-ve of the battery and then try start it, record the voltage on the meter, anything below 9.5 volts while cranking and your looking at new battery. Also look for bad earths, fuses and poor electrical connections/lose plugs.

I take it a V8???
