Newton carpets are well worth the extra in my opinion. Especially if you are planning to keep the car, they will serve you well

Indicator and orange light pulsing UPDATE

[size=12Ok I finally traced the fault it was not the voltage stabiliser as last I thought. I replaced the original one with a 59p solid-state new one and this also started to flicker.

I would say smear grease on everything before assembling then when assembled put full lock on one way and pump with grease through nipples until it comes out then put full lock on the opposite way and pump with grease again this should be ample.
Worked for me :D

SORRY sorry sorry for the very light naughty word... I think I have solved it!!!! Fingers crossed I believe it to be the voltage stabiliser on the back of the Speedo. If I remove any of the large green wires, it seemed to sort the problem of not needing fuses. I had a spare stabiliser so I swapped t...

Hi and thanks, not had any work done recently. It’s not the orange oil warning light it is the one on the right, that I think, is something to do with the charging/ voltage regulating circuit. If the car is running the orange/charging light is out dose this not mean the charging side is ok? If I tur...
