Did it sound like a loud beep ?. Similar to when you open the door with the interior light on ?.

Battery died on the way home today, Had to get my Dad and his T4 "Betsy" to come and rescue me! All is fine now, got a new battery, the other one was old as hell, the car had been sitting on the drive doing nothing for ages before I got it. Nice new one now and it has also fixed my warning light problems and my lazy rear window wiper! :)
Also ordered a new clutch as its pretty much dead, Biting point is millimetres away from not even touching the pedal and it slips every now and then, Should be sorted soon!

Cheers Mate, should be making some progress soon, New clutch is ordered and arranging to get those rims refurbished, Lucky my dads mate owns a garage :wink:

AHHH!!! Car died again on the way home today, 4 times! apparently its not the battery, so I wasted £40 yesterday!
It just cuts out, loses all power, handbrake, ABS and air bag lights come on, loud beeping noise. then nothing, wont start, wont even turn over, nothing! :(
Happens when I take my foot off the accelerator and apply the brakes.
And it wont start again without the aid of jump leads!
Had to leave it in Abergavenny (Town down the road from me), It wasn't going to get home without stopping another load of times probably. So I parked it up safe and I'm going to pick it up in the morning and take it to the garage.
Rather annoyed :evil:
Please can anyone help me with this?!

Big thanks to my mate Josh with his Saxo VTR and My Dad and his T4 for coming to rescue me!

Problem solved! It was the alternator, got a new one now and its working fine, no more cutting out! :D
Set me back £130 though :(
Got a bit of welding on one of the exhaust brackets done too.
Airbag light is still on though :? Does anyone know why? or how it can be reset or anything?

Cheers, Dan

It won't go by itself. Why do you have 2 threads the same? I posted the answer in your other thread.
