I've noticed while ideling the econometer pulses.
I've had a little search but could only find other problems but not the same problem as mine and most cause of the others seemed to be an si board if that's right, could that be my problem or is there something else.
Thanks

I went through this after disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time. Once connected again it took a few days of use to return to normal. I had read the same things about SI batteries.

Topman.
I've just bought a brand new battery yesterday morning so hopefully it will be ok by the weekend and save me digging about backstage. Not a good place for me to be with a screwdriver. :mad:

I have a feeling it is the SI batteries as it happened again when I left the battery off for a few days. I'll get around to doing it at some point no doubt.
