Remove and clean all earthing points in the engine bay, then refit and tighten.  You will find an Earth on the inner nearside wing just in front of the battery box, and one on top of the gearbox.  Look at these two first... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
