hi all I'm in need of some helpfull suggestions ,my 300tdi disco has an electrical problem,when I'm driving along she cuts off and all the electrical instruments are off,and when i put on the hand brake the power comes back on and I'm able to start her up I'm hopples with the electrics any suggestions would be grate cheers mark

crazymac:
You have a loose earth that is shorting through the handbrake, by re applying it you sort it. ?

stageonesimmo:
Dont worry though, as it wont do it for long before it burns the handbrake cable  through...........

Seriously though, Macs prolly right and you need to sort the engine earthing out as it will burn through the handbrake cable soon if not sorted........

m.phill.land:
hi there thanks for your quick respons iv checked the earthing to the battery and engine do i have an earthing point  someware else ,the only fault i have found is a dodgy connection on the battery cheers mark

Range Rover Blues:
Sort it by adding another earth strap from the engine to the battery or bodywork close by, you can't have too many earths.
