Hope someone can help......
My van sometimes cuts out if I use an indicator or occasionally when selecting reverse gear (stickshift). All the lights on the instrument cluster flash like a christmas tree then cut altogether. The ignition shows no life for a few seconds then fires as normal. When indicating there is also occacionally a hissing sound like a gas leak or something sinister.There doesent appear to be anything shorting, at least not to the eye, I havent electrically tested anything as I wouldnt have a clue where to start! Is this a common fault? The van is great in every other respect and I would prefer to tackle the problem rather than sell the vehicle. The obvious answer is to take it to a main dealer, but I would appreciate some advice before I do that as I am sure they will simply replace lots of expensive parts and frankly I cant afford it.
