thanks for that my next job is to trace the earths to the frame and engine and check them when i get the time can only be a connection problem im sure. battery is at 12.8 volts like i said i have cleaned the solenoid and battey terminals  so next step trace it back. tank and filter has to come off to get to the engine earth  also have cleaned the main fuse. all this started about a week after i did a mod too have both headlights on so took the fuse out of the headlight see if that was the cause but still had same problem so thats eliminated
ill keep you informed

had the car on the car park so went for a look the offside caliper had used the pad as a grinder and ground through the disc
next customer wanted oil air and fuel filters what car is it sir answer a ford a yellow one
anyway after serving about 5 of this type today I got another wanting pads and discs for a volve c30  loads of choices 15" 16" 17" wheels so here we go ask the question what size wheels are they.dont know give him a tape measure off he goas come back 15 or 16 I think !!! why 15 or 16 the wheels in a pothole he said really pissed off by now.
