  1. Hi, Checked prior start, voltage 12+. Checked while running with lights off, high 11's, running with lights on, lower 11's. Didn't have anyone else there so couldn't check while cranking. My concern is the problem with the alternator started after removing the steering column covers to check the headlight switch. Is this just a coincidence or could there be something else at play? Could there be a power drain somewhere that is producing the same symptoms? Cheers
  2. Hi Trent, Thanks for the reply. I have access to a meter so will check this first and report back. Cheers
  3. Hi, I've had an issue with the headlight switch for a few weeks. It started with the dash lights not coming on when turning on the headlights. Discovered the rear driving lights were not working (brake lights ok) also. Switching the headlights on/off multiple times or giving the switch a few taps got the dash lights working - rear driving lights remained off. Pulled covers off steering column to check headlight switch for anything obvious - nothing found. Put the covers back on and drove car with headlights on. Battery light started coming on/off at 20 second intervals. Within 5 minutes of driving the power steering failed and the lights went dim - car kept running. Stopped car, tried to start again, reds came but won't start - acted like flat battery. Left it for 30 minutes and tried again, car started, lights worked. Stopped car, tried to start again, dim lights and won't start. Does it seem the headlight switch, battery/alternator type problems are related? Any ideas if it's the battery or alternator? Any help much appreciated! Cheers
  4. Hi all, I have an issue with what sounds like lifter noise but not sure. It started barely noticeable a few weeks ago and is getting worse. The oil levels are fine and has been serviced every 10,000k's - although it is due a service now. The car was doing about 10,000k's per year upto end of feb ths year and is now being doing about 40-50k's per day 7 days a week. Cheers
