not wanting to put a spanner in the works but....

it still may be worth getting it jump started, by the nice man from the AA, so he can also check the alternator is delivering a good charge rate, although everything and consensus of opinion does seem to point to the battery

My battery is a Bosch

i was thinking the same, either the battery has decided to pop its clogs, or there is a short circuit somewhere, did you get around to changing your Bulb?

Hi Mark

Sounds like a dead battery to me? do you have access to a set of jump leads? if so, you could connect to your battery, from a good battery, and then see if you get your dash lights back...

Just a thought

!!!! WOW  that's been around the world about 8 times (if I've done the maths right?) 

Hi Jon

She really has been testing your patience over the last year, you've still got her so must be worth it?

Steve

fair enough Paul, just wondered whether it was one switch that may have failed

Hi Paul

Does the same switch operate both? I don't have Headlamp wash so not sure if they are operated separately

Question for you if you don't mind

did you use some other product for your glass / head light lenses?

Steve

mine has sports suspension fitted (same set up as the S Type 'R' I believe) and also sports seats, she is sitting on 18" rims, I will completely echo both Carole's & Peter's comments, the ride is very stiff, with very little forgiveness over such things as speed bumps. personally I would have preferred a softer ride. something to consider with the ride height, its fairly low as it is, consider trying to get a trolley jack under her for any DIY jobs you will have some fun trying to!

I'll try and pop a photo of mine, I think the height is fine (but as others have said, your car your preference)

Hi Joe

Welcome to the JOC, can you see were the Oil is coming from? is it just a dribble or lots? have you checked your Oil level? if possible a couple of photos might help

Regards

Steve

much appreciated, his number is now noted!

Steve

That's really handy to know Jeff

I own a caravan on the isle of sheppy! do you know if he is mobile?

you will need to check out the criteria that needs to be fulfilled by the AA but i'm sure that 'ANY' member can call for assistance in 'ANY' car! so if you know someone who has membership it may be worth a punt? but as I say just check that out first, as I may be wrong.

I mentioned Oil / Coolant as my thoughts were possibly Head Gasket, so fingers crossed you can rule that one out!

Hi Daryl

Are you an RAC / AA member? if so, it may be worth a phone call, they may be able to suggest something, I think they will have the kit to diagnose and its free!

just as an aside, are you by chance losing coolant / Oil?

Regards

Steve 

that's pretty impressive Peter, i'll swap you, mine is currently doing 24 MPG!

Regards

Steve

that's a Shame Gary

but wish you many happy miles in the future

Steve
