Mike I have a feeling you might be right. I think the Alternator was not charging properly. I have tested it and the values are OK but the battery was low. I have cleaned up the battery posts and Vacelined them. They looked OK but just be on the safe side. The measured values are now somewhat better...

Allen do you think a bit of Vodoo wil help. A dead chicken, a few bones etc?

Oh Dear thats not going to help my arthritus. You have just written what I did not want to hear. Getting under the car when it is jacked up. I do have stands but even so, when I am down there it takes a long time to get up.

I know there have been pages of info about this subject. I have read a lot and found no answer.

Totally frustrated he asked the lads if they could help. Of course we could we are all experts (20 year olds) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We too...

The sound is simular to a boot lid flopping up and down when there is too much play in the lock. I thought it was the lock but I cannot find an...
