Hey guys, just purchased a 1998 Freelander 2.0di for $2400, new VCU unit & bearings, RWC not a bad little rig.
Just one slight problem of the engine & dash electrics cutting out when blinkering, this doesn't happen all the time, just now & then. If the car is in motion the engine fires back up under it's own steam straight away.
Have bench tested the flasher unit, seems perfectly fine. It is however the non-towing unit, the car does have a towbar & light socket fitted, checked for shorts, sprayed with WD40, was fine for a while & then reared it's head again :(
I have noticed when it does it at night the dash warning lights are very dull, indicating a huge current draw somewhere.
Just thought maybe this is some sort of a common problem with an easy fix? Will the higher -amp Towing flasher unit make any difference? This didn't happen whilst towing however.
Any advice much appreciated. Cheers.
