Hi, this is driving me nuts! Car was running fine then occasionally after first driving away, the ABS and Airbag warning lights would come on, ABS first. The tach will also drop to zero revs for a second or two then bounce back up. The lights would go out when ever I changed gear so its seems they come on at 1100 rpm and above. While driving at night, when the fault occurred, all the lights got quite a bit brighter (headlights etc) as in an increase in voltage. Battery is fine, no warning light there. Any ideas?

Take this to an auto-electrician - urgently. You are at significant risk of the whole thing catching fire. Two of my customer's Corsas have done just that - one on the way in....
Do not even attempt to fiddle with these horrendous charging systems yourself.

Odd thing is, its stopped doing it now. It was always very intermittent and dropping revs or switching ignition on/off always cleared it. Maybe a bad connection on the voltage sensing wire.
