Well i was driving mine on saturday (having a ball mind you lol) And have now developed one of my favourite problems........ ELECTRICAL arrrgggghhhh.

This is weird......... cruising along motorway and go to indicate to change lane (Yes QLD'ders, that is what you are suppoce to do when you f**ken change lane) and instead of the indicator coming on the hazard lights come on, the speedo drops to zero (clearly not doing 0 along the M1) and as soon as I flick the indicator off it all goes back to normal operation. Then when i get home I realise centrel locking is not working and neither is the 2 map lights or the a/c. I think I may have blown a fuse OR 3. Will have to start investihagtion tonight......god help me, i hate electrical problems.

Sounds like some bad luck i had some electrical problems too, my side indicator light used to stay on constantly lol, but its fine now i just wiggled it. Ha hope its that simple.

Anyway,
Today i will be taking out my radiator to put my fixed condenser back in and hoping to god it holds the gas. Gotta love working at bp, coolant concentrate for 3.95 a bottle :twisted:
