Literally on the drive home from buying it the engine light came on and when it was given some boot for a second to merge the handbrake light and a few others flashed on and the Speedo stopped working. Turned the car off and on and the Speedo works but engine light remains. I had it looked at by a mechanic literally 8 hours before I bought it and he said it needs a new coil pack which is making it miss other than that is fine. Any help as I had a coil go on the ba and it wasn't this bad. Dead set shattered. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did the flash everything and drop speedo trick twice right anfter a new battery was fitted and the terminals left unprotected. Leads had oxidised heaps. Scraped em off, clamped on and sprayed terminal protector gunk on it, all good. Probably won't stop engine light but it's cheap and easy to do. The cars act haywire if voltages fluctuate.

Has a slight miss at idle and under load so I assumed coil packs. Disconnected the battery and cleared the engine light. Bastard I bought it off is claiming the old "I've never had a warning light"..

Did you get this resolved in the end? You last visited on the 22nd of June, so you might drop by soon @Steve O Hopes are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
