Sorry Henry but unsure? :-\ :-\ car is 40 miles away, the way she spoke suggested battery light, but is their a warning light for the open sun roof, as the light has gone off when they closed the sun roof..... :-\ :-\

Looking at chrisgixers add the battery light is orange, and I seem to remember the alternator going on a previous Mig and the speedo stopped working.......need the car home really. When she rang I told her to come back home but Miss Vamps and swmbo decided to carry on to the caravan (Static).....who knows what I will face on Sunday and her getting to work on Monday...............my argument for having a 'classic car' / 'toy' which could double as a spare car in such circumstances....... :y :y :y
