Electronic Low Voltage light

["Neil Thorpe" <nt014b6628@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dan for the info, i always thought it was a fault in the
15 miles of wire that make up the loom so it is a relief that
the flashing light is intentional.

I have had the alt light stay on once when the ignition was 
turned off this turned out to be a dry connection on the
plug on the volt reg.
