Did you figure this out?
Battery Probs'
Hi folk, thank you for all the advice......It turned out to be something pathetically stupid....DAH, Regulator. I ended up replacing the ignition control module 3x, and then the battery which warped a plate and said good-bye. A mate of mine then put a tester on the alt and said it was my regulator as it kept spiking, hence ruining the module and eventually the battery. I had a new one in the boot which I had bought a year ago....(DUH)....he put it in and now everything is hunkey dorey.....Thanks folk, I appreciate it, Jason
