    Took the car out today in the morning and everything seemed fine but towards the evening when i was driving back after a day out, i put the lights on and noticed that the dash lights were flickering and so were the headlights and rear lights! I revved the car and it went away but then it was still there while I was driving. when i came to a halt it stopped for a second and then started flickering again.

    Has anyone experienced this before or can anyone shed some possible causes. I was going to use the car again tonight but am unsure now. Any advice please.

    Was your car maintaining a steady idle while the flickering was occuring?

    Checked that with a muti-meter and that seems fine. Anyway my cambelts are due so I phoned up my dealer (Verdi Performance on a Sat night) and had a chat with him and booked the car in. The car needs a few bits and pieces doing so off it goes in a couple of weeks.
