If the bulkhead is rotten, it's more than likely a bad earth. Common problem. Try finding and cleaning all earth points especially battery to Chassis, gearbox,and any earth's behind headlights.put more in if necessary.

I had a very similar fault when my alternator started to pack up.

Seemed too have solved the problem underneath there was a wire hanging down the side of the engine all taped up which I pressume came from the egr valve which is no longer there it had melted on the exaust and was tapping the chassis all the time seems too have sorted it that is for help guys
