Well I've swapped out the RR for a "new" one (from a breakers, but only done 9000 miles) to see if that will fix the battery charging issue.
As for the "not starting when it's wet", unfortunately despite looking and liberal applications of WD 40 under plug caps and on HT leads, I couldn't see any sparking etc this evening when, after parking it up for a few hours on a humid and rainy evening, it again would turn over but not fire.
I did notice something which I think had happened before, but didn't comment on, which is that when I was trying to start it the LCD bars on the temperature gauge were showing up to half way, then all the way to the top, then dropping to the bottom again.
Now I've heard of rev counters doing funny things if the TPS was failing, but not the temperature gauge.
Anyone heard of this sort of thing happening before?
