065 doesn't sound valid, can you do it again?

[Baron Von Spongebob]

Im only 20 mins away, if I had the car I'd pop over

Just my rather luck then..Ok the syptoms are

Starts and revs..On display automatic gearbox is showing..Also when i rev it, all gauges go to zero..

It seems like the alternator is knackered for a start.

It does give me the 10 flashes then 5 then 6 i have checked..Unless im going daft..Dont answer that..Time to get it fixed and sell it as i want a change anyway..

Its off the road now for the rest of the week as i shall be in work but want it up and running for next weekend so any ideas are welcome.

Just had to go out and buy some new spanners and things because some kind person stole all my tools a fortnight ago..

Check the security of the three round plugs next to the battery - specially the blue one.

Measure the battery voltage when running.

Check the TPS - under the throttle body on 2.0.

Ni multi meter at the moment it was pinched along with £700 worth of tools and cant claim on insurance as they were in the Peugeot that was uninsured..

James if you have time one day a visit to me would be appreciated..

Where are you again? Any train stations near you?

[Baron Von Spongebob]

Pontypridd James..Are you still visiting Cardiff on a regular basis..

There is no rush ..

[JamesV6CDX]

I'm in Cardiff now - yep, still here most weekends at least..

[JamesV6CDX]

May be able to obtain permission from SWMBO to  hop on a train and come take a look if you're desperate...

I'd start with the wishbones and see if that clears it.
