Guest Alex-R Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 hey guys, back again lol. ermm, basically i was driving along when the car died, turned out the battery was dead. the AA come, said there was no light on the dash for the battery light, i had bought a new set with lockwoods already on, i had noticed there was no battery light and the backlight was also very dim. he said he couldn't test the alternator because there was no battery light, and it could be the fact there is no battery light is stopping the circut, BUT i tried my old dials that worked fine, and now they don't. now i'm stuck between getting new dials, alternator, or wondering if it's something to do with the wiring. P.S the other thing i'm looking for is the pipe from the turbo to the main bit of the exhaust incase anyone has one, thanks!
