You get one problem fixed then another appears Every now and then either driving or whilst standing stationary with the engine switched off my hazard warning lights/indicators start to flash. I presume I have a bad earth or something but have no idea where to begin traceing the fault. Anyone any ideas or know where I can find a wiring diagram?

That vintage 7 series had a number of electrical gremlins. This one is probably in the light control module.

That's not very reassuring Edjack but thanks anyway. A mate of mine (another mechanic) saw a spark from a faulty coil lead - I'll replace that tomorrow and hopefully dhould solve that problem. The same pal also noticed a pretty significant fuel leak about 12 inches from the spark. Let's just say I feel lucky tonight!
