my guess, flux capacitor

The heat may of damaged the capacitor from age. Is there a foul smell in your car at all!

No havn't noticed a smell! Even the indicators slow down and headlites dim while driving, but go back to normal if im idling.

Sometimes they will leak flux capacitor fluid into the footwell when they go. Its bright green (a bit like fresh antifreeze), have you noticed damp carpets at all!

You have an issue with your charging system. Get it checked out by a pro.ie; Auto sparky. Oh.yeah.make, model, engine etc helps too;)

It could be the muffler bearings!

Just brought the car, i am from invercargill soo the floor is always wet lol have not noticed it being green tho! Is this a big problem if it is the capacitor. Cheers

Its only going to be a problem if its made of unobtanium. That kind are really expensive.

Very hard to get.though not impossible.

Very good point. I think Supercheap has a special on those this week. At $5 for a set you may as well go and ask for some and then pay the $2 or whatever to have them fit them. That rules that out for a start.

You guys are just a bunch of unhelpful bast@rds. Its obvious the spark plugs have been stolen by rouge clowns.

snap! I just posted they would be in for a long weight.

A mate had that happen once, while waiting to pick up an Escort for a service.
No doubt we will see more of it with the price of copper going through the roof.

Its amazing what those guys stock, about the only place worth trying for a fan belt for an air cooled VW as well.

The easiest way to confirm if its a flux capacitor meltdown is to test the magnetic pull . Have you noticed that if the car is facing east the lights are bright and if the car is facing to the west , the magnetic pull will cause the capacitor to leak more thru magnetic polarity . If adjusted to the left with correct Lh screwdriver it will tighten its ass up and the leakage will slow as it is drawn back to the past !
