have just done crank seal and cambelt etc on my ln130 surf with a 2lte in it.
i have got it back together and it is starting/running fine.
only problem is all the dash lights stay on and that annoying beep stays on.
anyone got any ideas?

i only loosened alt to get the belts off, then tightened belts again to put back together

mate had his alternator belt slipping everytime he went in water and would do the same thing. ln130 also. problem went away once i tightened his belt.
perhaps its one of those moments where you touch something and something else fails at same time causing 1 hell of a headache

yeah, think i might have figured out my deep cycle battey might be flat.
have both batterys on charge over night and will check again in the morning.
i think it might be time to purchase a multi-meter

alternator was fully rebuilt 6 months ago so hopefully its not that.
might be easier to just take it back and get them to check it, as i have no idea how to check bruches etc
