All my sensors are throwing up errors and giving erratic readings (water temp, oil temp, outside temp, oil pressure). Speed and fuel seem to be OK. Any ideas/suggestions.

Thanks

Battery needs charging/replacing maybe.

Hi Targarama- thanks for reply- what makes you think battery could be the cause- everything else is working fine e.g. no slow turn over of starter, a/c.....

Just that people get all kinds of weird electric problems in cars when the battery is low on juice. You're right though, I wouldn't expect it to have enough umph to crank the engine if it was that. What is the voltage on the screen at tickover/running?

The Tag is very wise. When my T350 was running low on power because the 100 amp fuse had gone I got all sorts of weird just readouts before the end. Worth a look.
