Hi George, I have still got a simuler problem to you.As my good friend Peter said, he checked it over for me and it appeared to be fine with all the dashboard lights coming on. It now takes 2/3 days for the battery to completely drain instead of over night.I think my problem is in the alternator, because when I took it to be tested, it was fine and when I restarted her, all the dashboard lights came on again, but again it was only temporary. I think I will have to change the alternator. The trouble is, I have been spoiled driving my partners V70 around :-)

You know where a good alternator can be found Padrig, in my garage. Remember we did manage to get rid of a 3Amp discharge. Perhaps it is happening again and we will have to probe around with the meter again. This will certainly check the alternator and let us know if we need a replacement. Don't be afraid to let me know if you need help, I need some more of Suzanne's Blueberry Muffins anyway, and I need to discuss the possibility of a Greenhouse!!

All the best, Peter
