"Faulty earth..."

Would you mind giving a bit more info on this as I have the same problem, do you mean an earth wire that is loose etc. or a wire that is worn through and earthing on something. Mine only happens say 2 minutes for every hour of driving, which is lucky because it runs like a bucket of sh!t when it does happen.

sounds to me like a loose battery terminal hence the bad earth that was mentioned, look around the engine for the main earth cable and check to see if it's tight, another way to tell is get a jumper cable and put 1 end of a cable on the batter neg and the other end to the bock and see how it goes..

Check your fusable link from the positive terminal on the battery.

My truck did this a few years ago, all the dash lights flashed and the headlights flashed at high speed when driving on a rough road.
