Thanks Red Arrow much appreciated

How often/miles do you do in her, i was getting faults like them and gearbox faults all the time but is was only doing a few miles a week, until my van was off the road for a couple of weeks, did a few thousand miles and all faults disappeared even starting was 100% better, now i have a solar battery maintainer plugged in and that seems to do the trick now.

Hi Rich,
That's a good point as I work away and the car is often sat for a couple of weeks doing nothing.
thank you

Hi Ref Arrow im having all the same problems. Was the earth faulty? Did it need replaced

Yes the earth had corroded away where it secures on ,
It was sorted with a rivnut and covered in some sealer .
