hi there

is the battery light on the dash you're talking about? does you speedo and rev counter flick round each time you start? might be the alternator (first one) or the battery (2nd one).

let us know a bit more detail if you can.

Hi.
You could try removing and replacing fuses until you find one that removes the short this might give you an idea where the short is.
