Hi All,
Just posting this to help others if you have same symptons as I know from other posts many have. For sometime now I have, since fitting a new alternator, a good charge (dash voltmeter and multimeter readings) and ign light behaving ok - but an intermittent glowing of ign light and drop off on dash voltmeter during day and night use but very intermittent + regularly not getting ign light on when key turned to first position (before engine fire up). To cut a very long story short (having pulled out wiring loom / reconnected / located alternator wires / checked earth grounds - even replaced battery ) - turned out to be the fuse box brass holders being corroded (and needed to emery the fuse ends as well) - wish I had checked them first (just didn't think) - must have been enough corrosion to give just only enough "sensing" for the alternator to charge but only occassionally - now to get on with all the other probs with car, at least its winter s'pose

Cheers
Ian

I'm the same. If I can't see it, smell it, hear it or hit it with a hammer I'm lost

Sometimes you can smell electrickitry and see it too when you let the smoke out of the wiring loom!

Remember there are actually no electrical problems it always works fine unless there's a mechanical problem with the system.
