Hi everyone.
New to forum.
My daughter recently bought my Stilo 04 reg 1.4 a/c dynamic 5 dr 62k miles from me. Since sept to dec it was only used a few times and in dec had flat bat'ry, boyfried charged it with +/- terminals still connected.car started but had no dash/instruments at at. Got RAC out to check and after 1hr of various checks said it must be faulty component? bought new bat'ry but still no dash.weather has been really bad snow etc.could this be the cause, poor contacts behind cluster or on main connectors. have read some relaited threads on this but as car in Bristol and I'm near Portsmouth I cant check it over. Fuses look to be ok. Recently near front lights not working. Would appreciate any help to pass on as need to get car on the road soon.
Thanks
