Default Electrical question AU2 futura

Hi Guys, 1st post, hope some one can help.

Only driven about 2k when I noticed the Temp warning light was on, also the low fuel light was on - but temp guage was fine and had 1/2 a tank.
Then noticed tacho and speedo weren't working either.
1/2 way to work the next day and and it all started working again, any ideas???

Cheers
Mike

electrical gremlins?

might need to take it to someone to get an engine diagnostic test done. See if any fault codes come up.

This sounds like an auto sparkies dream come true. Intermittent faults at $100 an hour to diagnose!
