Fellas, bit more advice needed please.


The car has just developed a strange fault that maybe some of you have heard of before.


Please bear with me on this as my missus who drives the car, only passed her test a few weeks and hasn't got a clue ago is feeding me the symptoms!


apparently lights on the instrument cluster come on intermittently namely the engine, steering wheel, battery, oil lights and the water guage drops off. She is really panicked by this and thinks the car is about to pack in.
The car is running fine, all levels are good so makes me think it's an electrical gremlin? Could this be the case? Could the work I had done with the alternator have caused any issues? Is there any way of finding out what is causing it?

these instrument clusters tend to get faulty after aging - i can repair them for a very fair price but you would have to send it to the Netherlands - further info by PM please...

try changing the battery, the stilos are notorious for need of good voltage. If the problem still persists then its an instrument cluster.

Battery is new and good but thanks for the reply, think yellowstilo has the solution as someone else is having the same problems.
