Having a dose of the hate part in my love/hate relationship. Recently had electrical gremlins, faulty battery(s), alternator output down, jump starts etc. Had a company replace parts of the alternator (diodes?) looked like a horseshoe of components & they measured the output at 14.25V at the (new) battery. The dashboard battery gauge has always sat bang in the middle of 13V but now wanders between 12V (not marked of course) & 13V. Have completed several short trips with no problems. Drove approx 300Kms & the after that the car was a pig to start - usually starts first time. Cranked well enough but when started was eventually way down on revs. Possibly my imagination, but while trying to start, the gear selection indicator on the dash seemed to flash between P & R.
Any pointers, logical sequence of checks would be appreciated - have done a throttle reset. Always complications as communicating in Thai is not so easy, so I have to have some idea of what direction I should be pushing them.
