Brake light bulbs can cause some strange problems when they fail...apparently i would start there

How is your battery...? A dud one can do funny things to a D3.The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Hi Darryl, as JF says I would check the battery, had the same issues with mine and a new battery solved them.

Sounds like electrikery/battery issues. You say you've fitted a new battery - if the connections are OK I'd get the alternator checked out to make sure it's charging correctly. I changed my battery at the end of Feb but was still getting strange things happening - at the end of March, my alternator failed completely (luckily as 10FC was servicing the car so he changed it for me there and then ) but I think now that the alternator was on it's way back in Feb.Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills
