UPDATE. Spent a little time on it today, removed and inspected all fuses, stripped sheathing from engine bay fuse box wiring and inspected it all, took out centre console plastics and plastics underneath steering wheel and checked all wiring and earths there to find no faults. But now none of the dash lights are working (handbrake, oil, abs etc) when the ignition is on, and also my aftermarket gauges don't work? 😡 The car starts and runs fine! I checked battery voltage and is reading 12ish volts when not running, but still only reading 12 volts when it is running. Could a fault

As title says, they've all stopped working, but at the same time? All fuses look good, and it wasn't too long ago I checked and cleaned up most earths. Could I have missed one? Had a new battery not long ago, and is reading correct voltages when ignition is off and running. Also recently wired up 3 gauges, not sure if that could have affected it somehow? Any help is appreciated, cheers!

Spotted on the dual carriageway going past the park in hotel, had an oem spoiler and I think a private reg

I haven't seen you around dude? But I'm up for it

Car turns over fine, but doesn't want to fire up. After a couple of turns with the key it eventually starts, but then idles really low, a slight squeal from the alternator belt, and also a high pitched screeching noise from God knows where. A couple of revs and all is well, but I'm worried one time it's not going to start up. Any suggestions on what to look for? Possible starter motor? Thanks in advance
-
Nope it's definitely not the belt. She struggles to start sometimes, so I'll get that changed and see what happens

I'm game for the passion Jap meet at bluewater if we get everyone to head there?

Air con has been deleted. That's what I thought at first, but I'm sure it isn't

As above, on a cold start there's a fairly noticeable squeeling noise, it's not a belt, definitely mechanical, just unsure of what it could be. Starts with a deeper tone then gets to a high pitch, lasting all of about 5 or so seconds, possible sticky starter motor?

A thermostat won't cause it to over heat in anyway, that will prevent the engine from warming up. Are there any noticeable leaks from the pipes or the rad? As said before, drain the system and flush it well. Once topped up again, turn on the car with the rad cap off and put the heaters on full blast. Whilst it's on give the hoses a squeeze to release any trapped air in the system, you'll see the coolant in the rad start to bubble, just keep it going for 15/30 mins and take it out for a spin to see how she holds up
