Hi all finally got round to playing with the car turns out it was just a dodgy speed sensor. Lights and everything on and it works fine now. Thanks everyone for your help.

Only today to check them all.

Yeah it works perfect when the lights are off. Don't know about the horn the wheel was already fitted, my just swap back to the original just to rule that possibility out. Started about two - three weeks ago but I have owned it since may.

It is the JC-129. Just done the clock function that works all the way through. I have another 172 so I can swap bits and pieces over if needed. Another point the car came fitted with an omp wheel if that could cause any issues ?

All got done 1000 miles ago.

Hi all Alternator gave up yesterday and have a replacement ready to go in. Is it a difficult job? Also will I need anything else the belts only been on 1000 miles will that still want doing? Is there a guide anywhere on doing it? Thanks
