First 'hiccup' with the Chim......

[ianm67]

Afternoon chaps,

Jujst a quick post to see if anybody out there has any suggestions.... Driving the Chim' across country from Havant to Reading this morning, wet roads so taking it easy.... I was doing somewhere between 50 and 60 in 5th when the car seemed to lose power, then the oil and battery lights came on..... I dipped the clutch stuck her in 4th and released the clutch and the car bump started. All of this happened in 5-10 seconds I guess. Drove home carefully and the car seemed to be fine driving has it always has done.... Any thoughts? I'd like to get this 'issue' sorted before it comes a more regular occurance....

Many thanks,

IanM

Might be the 40 amp fuse under the car begining to break up.

(100 amp fuse under the car rather than 40 amp)

100amp fuse or chassis earth. Jack her up and have a clean!
