Driving round town, the car is fine, no warning lights, but when you go on the motorway and drive above 60mph the STOP + Battery lights flicker and then stay on, if you dip the clutch, the warning lights go off.
The car starts first time without hesitation.
I have just checked the voltage of...
What is the best way to route the positive cable through the cabin from the boot? I have a full interior.
Id have the battery box passenger side in the boot, cable could go down by rear seats behind rear door card and along the plastic sill trim and up behind the dashboard? Is there a suitable...
Hi
going to race in the cscc tintop series next year but have a couple of questions if anyone can help
1. Do I have to move battery from under bonnet
2. Do I need to fit a camera
3. Best place to fit battery cut off switch and fire extinguisher
4. Can I use original stearing wheel
Just a short question if it is OK to swap the standard battery to the varley redtop 25 on the daily used car?
Will it be enough of power when driving with the headlights on etc?
Just had car M.O.T'd after 12 months of pretty much hassle free motoring, bit pricey but nothing major other than a new set of wheels at some stage, as one of the alloys was cracked so driving round with 3 TSWs and 1 Renault one lol.
But the main problem was whoever worked on the car didn't...
The car is currently stored and I won't have chance to see it until Monday, but what battery fits?

So after 18 or so moths of use my iPhone battery seems to have had it, so how hard is it to replace the 4s's battery? The kits on amazon/eBay seems simple enough, looking at the guides it's only 4 screws, with only trouble possibly being the battery connector? So anybody had any problems...
Hi all, went to the scrapyard today to get a new positive battery terminal connector because mine was snapped. found one and now its all good. also at the scrapyard I found a battery clamp from an old renault megane that looked the same as the clio ones I have seen. i bought it because my...
Hi all, today I took out my battery to give everything a clean as it was becoming very filthly, the battery was fastened in with cable ties. now its all back together what is the best way to secure it so it won't move around? surely you don't have to use cable ties? cheers
Hi,
Done a search but couldn't find something specific to my problem.
Yesterday morning my 'stop' and 'battery' light came on after couple of minutes of the car being started. I say came on, they were flickering on and off for a bit before coming on 'permanently'. That was until I got to the...
I am going to relocate the battery to the trunk.
Just a short question where is the best place to fit it in a trunk? Midle/RH/LH/Near back seat or near the trunk hood?
Just wondering if I may remove this metal gear after I have relocated battery back to trunk?
I suppose this metal thing was just an opposite weight for battery???
Anybody know what the recommended Crank current is for the 172 and dimensions ?
Anybody recommend where to purchase online ?
I want to order one this afternoon
cheers

Hi I've had this problem for a while now.
ATM I disconnect the negative overnight and reconnect in the morning to get round the problem, car starts and runs fine.
My alternator is fine I've been told and I've just had a new battery so that also is fine.
But if I leave the car overnight with...
For the past few months I have had an issue with the battery draining even though brand new. The alternator is new (recon) so I can only assume something is draining it when the car is left off overnight?
There has been an ongoing fault for some time which I can never find the route cause of...
So today my car unlocks but doesn't disable the alarm, then won't unlock or lock with the key any more. It also won't turn over, but there is light on the dash. I disconnected the battery to try and stop the alarm going off and there wasn't any sparks or even a fizzle from the positive...
The past few nights when driving about I have noticed that the stop and battery light is illuminated very slightly on the dash.
After reading on here that it could be the alternator, i took a few readings today.
12.29v engine off
14.51v engine running
14.49v radio on
14.45v + side lights...
Needing a new battery and looking on ECP and it suggests a 075.I read somewhere else on here that the Sport takes a 075, but then several threads suggest a 063??
Anyone shed any light on this.
When ticking over the battery light comes on and when at low revs when adding electrical load (lights and fans etc)
I'm pretty sure the alternator is dead as I had this problem around 9 months ago and I swapped the alternator and it was fine again. I took the alternator to a repair place and...
Hi Guys,
Just purchased a K-tec bend from their IK from a member on here without a filter. Just wondering what size is best so that it'll fit nicely behind the headlight? I know it should have a 70mm neck but I want to make sure it's not to big.
Also any prefrences on brands from people on...
hi there,
this my sound very novice but i am relocating the battery to a lightweight one and puting it into the passenger footwell. Is it possible to just crip and heat seal 0awg cable to existing live earth cables?
Hey,
Iv searched on here and found a fair bit of information out about this but just wanted to double check before I take the plunge and buy a new alternator and/or battery :S
I was driving last night and suddenly the STOP and battery light came on. Turned the car off and then back on but...
I changed the door loom on my 172 cup 2002 as had a melted mirror switch ages ago
Disconnected battery, stripped door card off, changed loom, changed blown fuse and reconnected battery all on Saturday
Verified mirror switch worked fine, as did radio and clock as seem to be on same fuse
Sunday...
Hi,
Car (182) has been off the road for about 4 months, didn't disconnect the battery, managed to bump start it but after 30mins of driving it still wouldn't start.
Bought a new battery, but I can't disconnect the old one without the alarm going off.
I also can't lock/unlock the car on the...
Past couple of months my 4S so slowly been playing up but lately the battery is mental. As an example just now I picked up my phone and my battery was 17%. I opened FB and opened a picture then I got a 10% battery warning and my battery was at 5%
Any ideas what's up with it?
