Hi chaps,

I have just picked up a pretty mickey mouse ED V8 Sprint Mock Up with an AUIII XR8 220 windsor in it. ( It was a good price and I didn't really want to pay top dollar to get an original sprint which I am going to start modifying anyway).

The car is awesome, apart from an issue with the electrics......

While driving along, it seems to lose electrics all of a sudden. Engine cuts out and loses all dash lights etc.

This can happen as a complete shut down requiring a restart or it just drops out and then continues to run after just a moment.

Not ideal and about the only falling down of the car..... Any suggestions??

I'm thinking possible ignition switch or BEM issue, but are there any other things I should check first?????

I had the same problem with my NC V8 so I changed the fuel filter and it fixed the problem

I have the same problem in my el xr8. Allan, I can't work out how a fuel filter affects the electrics

My battery is secure and it's posts are covered so it can't be the battery hitting my bonnet.
