as i switch my engine on the battery light comes on, the petrol gauge & Temp gauge doesnt move even when im drive and fairly faintly the handbreak light is on. also the revs get stuck and just dont move. does anyone know what this could be before i strip it all down.
Also when i just turn the ignition on. so dont start the engine up none of the lights appear to come on.
Cheers guys
