I started the car yesterday all normal, went to the dump and when I tried to start the car nothing, fuel gauge, temp gauge, rev counter and speedo all just flickered, a clicking sound came from the engine bay but nothing, tried again the mileage started flashing. got a bump start all seemed ok drove ok for couple of miles then when I turned the car off it did exactly the same. Auto Aid came and diagnosed flat battery, he jumped it and drove off I drove to Halfords but steering went heavy then ok, all sorts of warning lights came on on dash, car drove very juddery under 4000 revs. replaced battery engine warning light still on, when started the engine dies unless I rev it but wont idle. when started it does not sound right.

Took the car for a 5 mile drive engine light still on and fuel gauge reading empty even though full tank. When started it was lumpy and smelled of petrol. After drive turned off and restarted engine light still on but petrol smell had gone and engine idled without any help. Took it out again and did a bump start down a hill engine fired up and no more warning lights. All seems ok have tested voltage and all ok 12volts without engine and 14.2 with engine
Seems to be running smoothly and still averaging 49 to gallon ?
