Hi all,

I have had a Clifford alarm fitted to my 306 rallye and I find not long after that every now and then all the needles the oil, speed, rev and fuel go straight to the maximum it can reach then back to what ever speed I'm doing and also the ABS light comes on then back off.

Has anyone got any idea why? Or advice that I can use to try and fix this.

Thank you in advance

+1 for battery

The new alarm could be sucking the last bit of life out of an already dying one

The battery has been moved to the boot as the guy who had it before was going to install throttle bodies, I think I'll move it back to the front Smile

Cheers guys!

The battery I have is brand new.... But I'm guessing maybe it being in the boot is causing problems?

I have these to check but is there any else? :-)

one by the abs pump
one by the drivers side headlight
one on the gearbox
one in the drivers footwell
one under rear bench seat (i think)
one behind the cover in the boot (the side with the boot light)

If you move it back to the front, I am interested in buying the bits you remove.

I am fitting throttle bodies, and want to move my battery to the boot Thumbs up
