Ok a few things have been going a bit wierd...

Radio (base model) decided after the 1st service NOT to display information on some FM stations. Actually intermitently.

Tacho yesterday decided not to work.

Speedo yesterday decided to stop working half way thru the day.

Lights decided late last night to turn off halfway home (only a short trip of 5k's thanksfully).

On arriving home, the radio light (not the radio) decided not to turn off when the key was removed.

I thought bugga, Ok, lets pull the positive off the battery. then remembering something I read here or on disco.co.uk (about reseting things) I pulled the negative off as well and shorted the two together for a short while.

Plugged them back on their respective terminals, and everything return to normal. Even the first radio problem has gone !!

Makes me wonder what set things going downhill in the electronics department....

If the D3 senses voltage issues, it shuts down various functions in order to preserve power. I'm not saying this is definitely the cause of your problems but could it have been something like a dirty or loose battery terminal?
