Hi Fred,

the sweeping dials and instruments resetting are classic symptoms of a battery on the way out. Check that first.

Also have a look at this http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/battery.htm

Hope this helps :)

PS Welcome to the site ;D

Interesting!
The English Scorpio has the battery on the left side.
The German Scorpio on the right side.
