Re: time clock flashes when headlights switched on

I have LEDs in mine and there's no effect.

I guess its start with the usual suspects, look at dodgy earths. its often the cause, especially around the lights where there's loads of wet and crap being thrown around.

That's a very clean engine. I have a used grommet if it helps you out.
I was thinking that, I've hardly ever seen a V6 that's not covered in oil (Malc's excepted)

Dolphin Automotive do around 30 different colours but they a bit pricey and you only get four sensors for between £50 & £70
true, but if it saves having them painted, might be worthwhile

Re: Alternator bottom bolt

I have no experience of this but ...

Once you have the lower bolt loosened so that it slides freely, just pivot the alternator down and remove it. You do not need to completely remove the bolt.

Re: Non starter and fuel pump question

it's not even that predictable, it will run nicely and do relatively long journeys for a number of days or even weeks and then just not start again, it never conks out once started
