Bump

It varies between 13.2 - 13.8v, better than the 17v i was getting!!

My dome light and clock are not working, are they on a fuse and if so, which one and where is the fuse? Thanks

It's back to its same tricks, do you think it could be the glow plugs even though they tested OK?

So I have changed the alternator and first go, it seemed to be working. But today, it is back
