Hi guys

Driving my old 90 this morning when suddenly the radio goes off! I try switching it on again and nothing! Then when I indicate there's no flashing lamp display on the dash. Also no speedo, fuel gauge or temp gauge. The only activity on the dash is the oil pressure light is suddenly glowing! Get home and as I pull up asked neighbour to check my brake and indicator lights - nothing! Park up and switch off ignition; leave it about 30 secs and turn ignition on again - starts up with everything electrical working again ok - no oil pressure light glowing now though!

Anyone any ideas what's going on here please???

Also check nothing it shorting out, as in watch that none of your wires in the engine bay have rested on something and melted though. I was driving the other week and everything died cos the ignition lead to the fuse box in the engine bay gave the manifold a hug and blew the 60A fuse. Check your fuses too, in cab and the engine bay. If ones blown chances are you're shorting out.
