Did you miss a nought? I have only ever heard of one low mileage diesel failure and that happened because it became a cannibal and started to feast on the oil in its sump. PS that was many years ago when I was working in Ford research
The engine is a 90`s Ford diesel fitted after the original one failed at 25,000 miles. -----Original Message----- From: Glyn Scoltock <[email protected]> To: quantumowners <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 30 May 2015 21:06 Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Electrical problems. Hello everyone I now have a running 2+2. I got another car electrician in and he got Kitty lighting up like Blackpool illuminations. He said that there were earth problems and that a lead was on the wrong polarity. This was pretty much as you suggested, thank you for your support. As a suplimentary question, my tachometer has stopped working (some time ago) and the auto electrician told me that he thought that there was a connection on the alternator that may have come off. Is he right? The engine is a 90`s Ford diesel fitted after the original one failed at 25,000 miles.

I have up to now enjoyed years of trouble free motoring however I now experiencing some electrical problems after (foolishly) flattening my battery. After installing the new battery as advised by a mobile auto electrician I got to come round to inspect the wiring, which appeared to be alright nothing came on, everything absolutely deado. I have checked the fuses. Can anybody offer any advice? Glyn Scoltock -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
