David P Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Close the door/check-switch and press the button on the gear-knob and the Christmas lights should go out. Sounds like a bearing, but you'll have to try harder than that to explain your Gremlin.

peter richards Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 i think a helicopter is quite descriptive, played with the door switch but no good kept on flashing intermitingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) i think a helicopter is quite descriptive, played with the door switch but no good kept on flashing intermitingly Both doors, rear-hatch and bonnet/alarm will all trigger the light. Getting warmer, slow rotation = slow bearing = wheel bearing or drive-shaft bearing or high-gear in transmission? Clutching at straws though, you must try harder.

Steve Paine Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Sounds like the alternator to me! Had similar problems in October with mine after starting it with a boost pack, which apparently is no good for the alternator! Other than, that, get your helicopters licence and fly around blissfully ignorant until something major goes wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
