It does sound like an earthing problem....but have you had it on a scanner yet Trev? It just might be an ecu /uch (or whatever ford refer/call the secondary control unit) fault?

I do hope you`ve found the cause then and get it sorted before the weekend, so you can go off to cornwall with a clear head!:party:
I bet you don`t come back with one?:)

[Tk]

off to cornwall this evening in the van fixed or not , probably not fixed but it seems to work alright for the last couple of weeks like it,

have a good one at north weald , im a bit gutted im not there to play

[russ979]

Well Trev, Did the van make it to cornwall and back? Was the hangover worth it?:D

[Tk]

made it there and back 900 miles although i think my brain is still there , it was a great weekend with plenty of rattler cyder and good food in stunning surroundings.
battery light was on all the way home, one thing i did notice on my return is i only have one front side light (could this be the problem) we shall see
