Ok drove to north weald airfield marshalled a ccv course today. Dashboard lights flickering messing about dials going billyape alternator light comming ion intermittantly, checked alternator seems ok, checked behind dash seems ok. When I got home, Pulled up outside GF house small engine fire, Cause: TDI Engine harness become dislodged from clips between bulkhead/engine block, probably because of offroading/cheap and nasty clipsSo to summerise hot engine melted harness and got the main Alternator +ve short to block/bulkhead, Luckily I had an extinguisher in the passenger floor, and a spanner in the battery Tray. put fire out wiring in a mess towed home not even a mile, will make new harness wrap in heat resistant material and fix harness to bulkhead every 100mm. This could have been the landy in flames. lucky for me it has turned out ok. Jai
