    Hi all, need some advice.

    First off, the warning light came on to say front driving light needs attention. So off to the garage, the lights were working and the warning light went off.

    Next, car on ramp warning light came one, then stopped completely

    Next rear fog light warning came on, all lights checked and working fine. Warning light out and it’s now come back on.

    Read the threads on the possible battery problems. Took it to Farmers today who said battery appears fine but is at 30%, just needs a good run,

    Anyone got any ideas or similar experience

    Is the car just doing short journeys? May be worth either taking it a run or putting it on a battery charger and seeing if the problem persists.

    Had a few warning light come on and was told possible low battery as it's no been used for months so it's on a trickle charger now,

    I found out what the problem was! Water getting into the housing unit from the wheels, a quick dry with hairdryer and a cloth and it was fixed.
    It’s better to burn out
    Than to fade away.
