Hi all, I'm Hoping someone can help here. I have 2 issues, but dont know if they are related.
I Have a 97 Clio, and over the weekend, I had a bit of trouble starting the Car, It seemed as if the Battery was Dying; while driving at night, lights became very dull, wipers hardly moved, Radio switched off - Something out of a SciFi movie. Anyway, locked the car up that Night and next morning the car would not start, all lights came on the Dashboard, but the car would not turn over. When I put the Power Pack on, It started the Car Straight Away. I headed over to Halfords where they tested the battery and found it was dead, Therefore, they replaced the battery for me. Upon the new battery being installed, the car started up straight away. I then toook a 140mile round trip, but when we stopped at our location, the Battery Light came back on again, although the car was still running, After site seeing for a while and returning to the car to start it up, it started up straight away, but the battery light was still coming on :confused: .
On top of that, the second issue was, while I was driving around the places, the car would start to Rev very High up to 6000rpm(highest it could go) according to the Dashboard. When this happened, the car would start to Slow down and it would stay like it for about 1 min, then go back to normal revs and I was able to start accelerating again. Now I am even more :confused: .
Can any body help me at all?
