Hey all, my car has devolped a 'not wanting to turn off when told too' problem.
By this i mean when i start it up, there is no glow plug light on the dash, i wait about 10secs and crank it and it starts fine, on occasions my dash lights dim an my volt metre drops slight volts an back up.
It will drive fine then when i turn it off, it just keeps running, all needles drop to the 'off' postion there are one or 2 lights on the dash which stay lit but only extremely faintly.
I have to cut the fuel to get it to shut off.
The problem has only just occurd, an the only thing ive tried is messing with an cleaning the earth on the n/s chasis leg by the gearbox mount and the one under the drivers footwell.
Also not sure if related but my central locking seems to work 1 minute then not the next, so am unsure if its an earth an there both related?
Tomorrow im going to relocate a few earths and see if it solves anything, but throught id post on here as you lot may have expierenced this before or know of it.
On a side note im running a tuned bosch but i dont think its over fueling and keeping the engine running, but im going to detune it just to make sure.
Thanks for reading and any advice given!
Mike
