Recently purchased a 1980 450 slc.
yesterday lost power to a number of systems.
Power windows not working and some instruments no longer working.
Odd thing is that some dials on the instruments panel are working while others have stopped.
Oil pressure gauge and speedometer work but no reading on temp gauge or rev counter(!)
Have checked fuses and they look OK.
The only change made to electrics is a recently installed replacement alternator which has a slightly higher rating than the original,
The company that supplied and fitted it (Sahib's auto electrics) said it would not affect any other systems.
I will be looking to find a mobile mechanic to sort it out but
any pointers toward a likely cause would be much appreciated.
Cheers
