Hi all i wonder if any one can help. I got a E36 318is coupe (l reg) a little while ago and i think it has a bad earth problem maybe? When the engine is on some times the clocks (speedo, rev counter, fuel gaudge, temp dial) all turn off for a while then come back on again also the problem goes to the 2nd speed on the windscreen wipers. When the clocks die the 2nd speed on the wipers revert back to the same speed as the first setting but when the clocks come back on the speed goes back to normal. I dunno if its a problem with an earth, if it is any ideas where to start looking and cleaning them up or if its a common problem does any one know how to solve it or has any one even heard of this kinda problem before. Iv'e changed the battery for a brand new bosh just to make sure thats not the problem but still no joy. Any advice would be much appriciated.
