heath79 Member 7 Member For: 13y 11m 23d Posted 29/06/12 11:48 AM Share Posted 29/06/12 11:48 AM Hi guys need help I've got an 07 nf tornado with battery relocation and a few other mods, anyway it's hard to start makes clicking noise then winds over kinda sounds like flat battery, also a couple of times I've turned the car off and the alarm had gone off and immobilised the car? And while driving at night I put high beam on and for a few seconds all my dash lights came on the speedo needle dropped and then went back to normal ?any ideas it's got me stuffed. Also the etc light came on the other day and the car went into limp mode so I recent it. Could all these be problems be connected? The battery is in the boot could it be a dodgy earth maybe???

If your battery is in the boot make sure the earth lead is as short as possible but most likely the battery is shot, optima yellow top time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
