Hmmm... Stall on any electrical load? Try replicate & see if it happens with cooling fan or is it just a tail light issue.

Garage just called to say that Fiona is alive and frisky to go for a spirited ride :mrgreen:

It was the drivers side ground after all :roll:

Looks like they are getting a nice bottle of wine, and Dan #1 is getting dinner and Dan #2 is getting a 24 :wink:

Thanks to all :D

+1 for me too :) good thing it was something simple. The next time mine doesnt start, ill check the grounds, if the exhaust stinks ill check the grounds, springs an oil leak ill check the grounds, when she gives me talkback i'll check the grounds. Grounds, grounds, grounds, lesson learned. :mrgreen:
