Looks good, when you spraying the rusty patches? Did you put a rust killer on first to neutralise it & stop it coming thr' so quick again? :)

If a garage mechanic hasn't got a clue, then look up a local Auto-Electrician. They'll find the fault in no time, & u'll be surprised on how cheap it may turn out to be! Or see if someone local from the forum can look at it for you! :wink:

PS. Love the Alloys! :D

Those teledials looks well nice, what model and how much did you pay for the other BBS alloys as i'm considering looking for some similar?

Try and get a auto electrician to come and check out the car, they know thier stuff and should be able to pinpoint the problems out for you.

Good work, nice to see one of the ladies get her hands dirty working on cars, soooooo not used to seeing that :lol:

As for all the problems, you could get a garage to run diagnostics on the motor which may tell you where the culprits are.
