Have you had someone scan the car for fault codes? I would start there and see what comes up but suggest reading the fault codes, clearing them all and then driving the car for a few days before reading the fault codes again.

Thanks for the advice Neuk.
Would you know of any good auto electrician that can assist me with this in the east rand area?
