    Few niggly things, Speedo, Alternator & Tyres

    Right, been out driving the disco today and come to the conclusion he's connected the wire wrong, as when I start the car - no light, idling - no light, rev the car to 2k - dim light, rev higher - brighter light. And it flicks on if lights are on, / indicating, but the alternators charging fine!

    Really? It only came on after the bloke reconnected a wire, yet it charges fine and before it used to flicker on before I started the car? I'm just wondering of he's put it to an ignition live?

    Hi Guys, insured the 200 again whilst the runabout laguna is out of MOT! and gave it a good run as it had been stood for a few weeks with the battery disconnected! 1.

    Top speed?

    75 my 200 tops out at, funny feeling it's the gearbox though, as it'll pull like a train to 75 then will stop accelerating, the 300 I've yet to try :)
