Electrical Fault Finding
Yoshi:
Over the past week me 110 has been developing some problems with the electrical system!
It would appear the following items dont work now! Inidicators (hazards work fine so have ruled out bulbs), rear lights (brake lights work, just on normal the lights dont work), fuel guage, temp guage!
Now a fuse blew but i changed it and nothing has come back on?
At the moment this is the only car available to me to drive, so i would like to get it fixed asap as the Discovery is in having its mot until Thursday.

Sounds like an earth problem to me had virtually the same on the RR, no indicators, no instruments etc, eventually found the main earth under the dash was loose, once tightened and cleaned away we go again.
Just had daughters RR here with a non starting issue, glow plugs got no power, so after fiddling cleaning we put another earth strap on the engine and everything works fine !!
Yoshi:
LOL cheers Chris!
Its just finding which earth has gone!
Yoshi:
Quick thought, is the fuse box earthed? As it would make sense that alot of the problems are coming from there.

Isn't the whole body an earth... ie: I have sent the earth for the light bar to the screw which fixes the fuse board the body.
