    My cars not on 70,000 miles yet let go coming home 1 am. Car started run for 6 minutes to defrost drove 100 foot, no lights on dash board at all. No headlights or sidelights, no power steering a knight mare. Shorted out fitting new alternator main fuse box . I would not wish this on anyone, fault Vsc and traction control when car got running. Fixed using the paper clip methord, every thing alright at the moment. I am thinking of doing starter and water pump, as all original as far as i know.

    Well i think you have found you're fault. Only noise i have herd of from dash, has been a rattly speaker on Is 250.

    Battery's go at around 12 years Alternators also, and they are a right pain to do. As above make sure all discs are shiny and not sticking.

    Yes alternator is correct one. Car is now running i got an auto technician, come out sunday. Main fuse board near battery had gone. He made a temp repair but now Vsr and tranction is on. But at least i can use the car now. Everything works lights air con heated seats radio etc.

    Headlights are the only thing working light wise on the outside not even side lights work.
  7. madasahatter
    All fuses been checked, can not see any visible damage do not recall shorting out. Code reader will not communicate with the car so looks very bleak.

    Changed alternator now engine will not start. No rear lights or indicators, Battery just over 12 volts. No number plate light car will not open or shut with key fob.

    Battery is 6 moths old terminals are spotless i have o c d mate. My engine bay is cleaner than most cars exteriors.
  10. madasahatter
    yes screen clears evenly all across.
  11. madasahatter
    No i hate aftermarket tinted windows. Only happens when rear heated screen on.
  12. madasahatter
    Happens to most i imagine. Terrible on my car, i listen to compact discs most of the time.
  13. madasahatter
    Yes sounds like it.
  14. madasahatter
    Have you tried tightening the nut on the wiper? May of come loose, not herd of linkages going.
  15. madasahatter
    Right put original battery back on alarm was going awol. Car started no lights on the dash put all lights and heater on and battery light lit up. So seems like alternator has gone.
  16. madasahatter
    I have a spare battery which is on the car now. Everything is the same.
  17. madasahatter
    engine does not start at all does not even try.
  18. madasahatter
    Plugged scanner back in lights on dash did sweep then went out. Code Module $07e8 and 9 . Po 355/ $07e8 Crankshft position sensor a circuit. When engine did sweep brake pedal is rock hard like when the battery went.

    Yes i will do that first strange car fired straight up at work. Got about 50 yards then nothing. Also power steering had gone. I never turned car off coming home in case it did not fire up.
  20. madasahatter
    Big problem coming home 2 am no lights on dash, no lights on car apart from rear very dim. Battery recently replaced, showing all ok. Plugged scanner in took an age to show anything. When it did said crank sensor. I will try again when light. Question is where is it located. Car will not start since turned off. And no lights when turned on?
  21. madasahatter
    The boots just push on easy job mate. Make sure you grease the pins up.
  22. madasahatter
    I think you have answered your own question. Always replace like for like, especially when dealing with brakes.
  23. madasahatter
    Probably all the rain has caused the ballast to fail. I believe they are under side of the head light, which isn't ideal really. Ballast are expensive but do last a long time.
  24. madasahatter
    Not the best weather, but i would jack the drivers side up. I do not know if a leaking shock would cause the same issue. When springs snap you have to be careful they do not go through the tyre.
