Hi chaps,

I have just picked up a pretty mickey mouse ED V8 Sprint Mock Up with an AUIII XR8 220 windsor in it. ( It was a good price and I didn't really want to pay top dollar to get an original sprint which I am going to start modifying anyway).

The car is awesome, apart from an issue with the electrics......

While driving along, it seems to lose electrics all of a sudden. Engine cuts out and loses all dash lights etc.

This can happen as a complete shut down requiring a restart or it just drops out and then continues to run after just a moment.

Not ideal and about the only falling down of the car..... Any suggestions??

I'm thinking possible ignition switch or BEM issue, but are there any other things I should check first?????

I had the same problem with my NC V8 so I changed the fuel filter and it fixed the problem

I have the same problem in my el xr8. Allan, I can't work out how a fuel filter affects the electrics

lol had same issue with my NC V8 found it was the battery was not tied down would move and as the NC has a long low bonnet the positive terminal was hitting the bonnet. battery clamp and fixed

My battery is secure and it's posts are covered so it can't be the battery hitting my bonnet.
