AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH HHHHH :mad:
Im so pissed off. 1st day on the road since the engine change and the ****ing heap of **** breaks down.

drive to garage, fill up with petrol and when i go to start it.................nothing.

Flat as a pancake. They garage jumped it but it wasnt charging so stopped. Towed home, once again!

Good job there wasnt a hammer to hand!

Lucky its not the alternator as they are a pig of a job to change! I knew it wasnt that as its been in for a month and run fine.

Its back together and running fine now :)

Somewhere in the chargeing circuit it needs to run through the clocks, for the battery metre i presume.
With the damaged circuit this as not happeneing. I bridged the gap and the battery gauge started working so i jusr souldered it.

All sorted now :thumb:

No, not yet. As John H will probably agree, im ****ing useless. The wheels are still with him, however i have paid for them.

I will be arranging a courier to collect them for next week if i pull my finger out of my ****!
