Well if I take out the ash tray there is no more panels to remove and no hole for an OBD2 port either

Hello, I've looking for the diagnostics port on my T reg 1.4 16v Lupo and can't seem to find it. I've taken out the ash tray and it's not under there, I was under the impression that it may be mounted elsewhere pre 2000? Cheers

Main beam was functioning but not dipped beam, two new bulbs later and they're sorted. I don't reccommend Halfords super duper bright magical special bulbs, they're half as bright as the Osram nightbreakers. New alternator ordered, should bring it back up to over 14v

Yeah I am in agreement with the alternator diagnosis. Model is 1998 1.4 16v 75bhp, I will check the earth and give it a clean up.

I guess there is every possibility that the bulbs have blown as a seperate issue. I'll check the rear lights after work and also to see if the main beam is functioning. I've ordered a replacement alternator as you say, 12v is not enough. But I would expect the bulbs to fire with a brand new battery without the engine running. Do you know which bulb size fits the lupo? Cheers

So at the weekend, this all happened: Saturday - Drove 5 miles, battery light came on and car stalled, used momentum to restart, car wouldn't start when I went to leave, airbag light on Jump started car to drive home, same thing happened 4.5 miles later Sunday - Charged battery over night, car started well, drove 15 miles with no problems - was during day so not sure about lights functioning Check across battery terminals with car running - 12.05V Monday - Car started in the morning but only offside side lamp was working, replaced with brand new battery and it's no better, same situation with car not running which rules out the alternator being the only problem Leaves me in a bit of a silly situation as it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I finish work! Anyone have any suggestions? Cheers
