Right have a couple of problems. The other night the tape player decided it wanted the code again, god knows why, just did. Put the wrong code in (my bad) and it just came up with 4 dashes on the tape player, so I thought i'd disconect the battery. This is where everything went wrong. Put battery back on and the hazards flashed really quickly, the tape player just doesn't work, clocks went all the way up and the clock/temp is now doing a funky dance. Played with some fuses and made it worse and wouldnt start. Narrowed it down to worn wires to the + on the batt which are getting sorted tomorrow and took the fuse out for the anti code start thingy to stop the hazards and the clocks have sorted them selves. Still have no tape player and the clock is just showing vertcial lines then horizontal lines. Any ideas?

There is a loose earth connection somewhere. Follow the wiring from the battery negative terminal to the earth point on the passenger side chassis rail. It is just below and in front of the battery box. Check it is done up properly. Do the same with the other earth point on the gearbox.



It does that when the battery is disconnected. Set the time to sort it.

The eight-track in my car started doing the same, so I just replaced it with a sweet gramophone boot install.

That's actually your alarm going off, but your siren is knackered.
