 Electrics Yesterday during the rain the wipers and the indicators stopped working and the alternator stopped charging.During the return journey (round trip of 50 miles) about 5 miles from home everything started working again!!!
Suggestions would be most welcome
Cheers Andy

Re: Electrics Thanks Sean will be checking that but would that affect the charging system or am I looking for something else for that and the two probs are not connected?
Cheers Andy

Re: Electrics I believe the fuse for the wipers/indicators also protects the alternator (did your fuel gauge also stop working?)

Re: Electrics Found the problem,the fuse on that circuit although not blown was faulty the end cap had become detached from the fuse link resulting in intermittant contact.
Thanks again for your ideas guys
Andy
