@iMak it's really easy
remove NS wheel

undo plug and pipes connecting to "acoustic"
the "acoustic" is bolted to the horn bracket iirc so remove bolt etc and hey ho
really wanted mick at diamond to do my work but a 4weeks waiting list wasn't an option.
also thanks for you input and recommendations but again due to waiting times in the end I had to bite the bullet and go to someone who wasn't known as (recommended)

@MRBILLYUK yeah I want mick to have it but doesn't he have a really long waiting list?
I take it over to him 2months ago to introduce myself and discuss cambelt prices (before this started playing up) and I'm sure he said there was a waiting list.
last week I messaged him on Facebook to...
could the internals of the alternator packed up? the big red lead is solid on and no movement in it?
for the last few weeks it has been driving fine and the only things changed have been pads+discs aswell as a blowing decat.
the battery was tested and shows fine even has a green indicator on...
no that's taken fresh from the hard shoulder of the m42 haha.
I'm trying to get booked in at diamond motors for cambelt water pump and spark plug service etc and now typical this has gone wrong lol
too late im stuck on the m42 awaiting the rac haha
even though it's been running ok no different
its just died no headlights. no radio. no air con. Windows slow.
the garage last week tested battery and alternator and said both were fine?
the clio has now started to go abit strange for no reason?
STOP & BATTERY started flashing 4 weeks ago and all lights are now permanently on!!
abs - airbag - esp have all illuminated today
my windows no go really slow?
and my auto headlights are working for 1st time ever?
if anyone can...

had my battery checked aswell and its running 14v and also shows it charging when engine running
these 2 lights have started coming on/off and flickering since I had my brakes changed and decat fitted last week?
they only come on when iv been through 1st and 2nd gear and ONLY illuminate in 3rd 4th 5th when DECELERATING??

I can remember looking at mine not so long ago and they were fine with the weight down on it but I was there when it went up on his stands and the rear passenger side coil basically fell out!!
