Recently an old problem on my car has returned. As i indicate, the car shudders ever so briefly and the lights dim again ever so briefly. If i flash my main beam the previous happens albeit on a much larger scale and the instrument needles all go to zero and the ABS light comes on! I have been...

Possibly an embarrassing one, this. Just sold my '96 2.3CSE 168K to a local chap. I now have a glorious 2.3 Anni. Anyway, 1st night of new chap's CSE ownership, he's tinkering around inside the car, presses the hazard warning button a little too hard, it pops straight thru' behind the dash...

A couple of weeks ago, I left my lights on all day at work and needless to say the battery was completely flat when I returned to the car. A colleague kindly helped out and I got the car started (eventually) using jump leads from their car. Drove home and the battery has been fine since...
