Can any one tell me why all my warning lights stay on sometimes after start up for about 10 to 30 seconds,I would say it happens 1 in 30 start up's

coult this be a sign of something going wrong or is about to go wrong,has this happen to you before,I renewed my alternator about 3 years ago.

someone had a similar prob - turned out to be a slipping fan belt , worth a look before you start worrying too much !

Possibly a slipping belt, but more likely to be either alternator or regulator starting to give a problem, when they stop charging the dash lights up like a christmas tree. Might be worth getting the charging circuit check, but if it's only intermittent it may not fail for a while yet.
