Hi folks, I have a 1996 300tdi ES and the other day the battery light flickered while i was driving, this followed with a loss of power then it cut out. I found the live to the battery had come loose, so sorted that out and started her up, she fired up with no problems. So i thought the problem was sorted, next day the same thing happened again, loss of power and cut out, this time i had no battery warning light, but she still fired straight up.
So i have done alsorts of tests witha multi meter, the alternater is working as it should, the battery is good but i did find some bad wiring that i have sorted out or removed as it wasnt needed.
I replaced the battery light feed plug to the alternator as it was in poor condition, put in the key and turned to 1, battery light came on and went off when started, so i tought job done, so i left it for a while then came to start it again, no battery light again!!!! any ideas would be a great help.
Its a new disco and ive had it for about 4 weeks and had no problems at all before.
