SIMONG 0 Posted February 7, 2010 sounds like you have a bad earth somewhere and its draining the batterey. does the car just die when your driving it? when i had a 16V, it just started to die, ended up being the dizzy, had to get a new which was about £80. stuck it on and it was bang on again.

Rappa KNOTZ 0 Posted February 7, 2010 well unless it already went dead it will go dead either when driving or when its just idleing, and it didn't do this until my RPM/Fuel/Temp Gagues stopped working (I still haven't figured out why they stopped cause my fuses are fine) Maybe it has something to do with it cause i remember reading that behind the dash gauges there is a Voltage regulator and it goes out causing them to not work...could that cause the charging problem? and by the way whats a "Dizzy"?
