Thanks Gilbert

I do keep having to top up the coolant although not by much.

Off out to get water up my sleeves first though.

Cheers

Success!!!!!

Thanks Gilbert - looked at the connection to the tow bar and found the insulation had melted above the exhaust causing a short. Disconnected the multiway connector in the wing and cut off the wire at the tow bar - I never tow anything anyway.

Lights all working and stay on - although its dry today....

Will see whether the other issue are related to the BECM as the foot well is damp on the drivers side.Just removed a load of gunk and leaves from the drainage channels. I need to use the car though so will leave that tinkering until my other car is fixed.

Gotta love these Rangies!

Thanks everyone.

Well now very cold and wet but a quick update.

Battery is 12v and alternator pushing 14v.

I now only have one fog light working - passenger side.

Stripped the rear panel off the tailgate and pulled the bulb holders out of the drivers rear. Cleaned up the drivers side bulb holder for the fog and reversing light and then had all the lights on .... for a while. Spent an hour jiggling connections and swapping bulbs, locked the doors somehow once and had the EAS beep.

Going to try Gilbert's suggestion at the weekend but I'm starting to think BECM clean plus a new battery just to make sure. If that doesn't work I'll put it into the garage (gulp!).

Once again I appreciate all the help.

Thanks for all the suggestions, off out now to try and solve it .... again.

Hi the battery is about 4 years old. I'll see if it's pushing out 12v ..

Thanks Gordon, I will take a look at Rave and get the drivers seat up to check out the BECM

Hi Newbie here but desperate for some tips on fixing my 1999 P38.

When it rains, after about 5 minutes I lose both tail lights at the same time and then one fog light on the drivers side (i have to use the fogs to get home!). The indicators work and the brake lights work however I sometimes get the trailer dashboard light on when the indicator is on. I have no problems in the dry.

To date I have replaced the tail light bulbs and cleaned all the connections in the bulb holders. My mate, who has some electrical ability checked all the connections with a meter and found no problems. I presume I am looking for water ingress somewhere?

It may be unrelated but occasionally I get the ride height warning beep and light but it goes off almost immediately and once, the car started locking and unlocking the doors of its own accord.

Just wondered if anyone had experienced the same problem. I have searched numerous forums but had no success.

Thanks in advance for any help.
