Hi,
For the past couple of months, the electrical fault light would come up on my dash and then the car would start to misfire. Finally changed the coilpack around a month ago and that sorted the problem. The car then ran better than ever. Cue another problem!
A couple of weeks after, the snow came and my car battery died. I thought it was due to snow at first but then noticed I'd left the interior light on through the night
. Got my dad to jump start car and went on a long motorway drive to charge up the battery. But when my dad jump started it, all the clocks we're reset and the Electric Fault light came on and hasn't gone off since.
The car runs fine and I've started getting a true reading of mpg again etc but the Electric Fault light is still on.
Could it be that I need to replace the battery? Thought I'd ask on here first rather than splash out on a new battery that I may not need.
Thanks in advance.
