    Battery Issues

    Battery Issues

It seems that the Magneti Marelli NIT system was putting spurious info onto the B-Can data bus and setting off the NQS module which controls all the dash lights and gauges Interestingly one of the original fault indications was this NIT unit doing continual...

Lovely car when its working but this is negated by all the issues I have had. Might be a time for a...

    Hi catman No I haven't--do you need a radio code for these cars--does that reset all the alarms--I assume its positive off first then negative and the reverse connecting back up ????
