Bibbles Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I went inside and came back to the car and it was dead less than 10 minutes later. All the dash lights started flickering and a clicking noise from the engine bay, tried to bump start it but no joy and don't have any jump leads? Any help would be appreciated as I have to push it a far way as its dumped illegally because I can't shift it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ropers101 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 When the battery stopped working it may of shorted a fuse. Find out which ones affect the speedo and check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
