Hah!

I've just driven my Golf back from Topcats after they fixed it and had forgotten quite how good it was to drive after it being off the road for a few months. Compared to the Cerb, the feel throught the steering is amazing, but then compared to the Cerb it's also infinitely quicker at the moment, as the Cerb is back in the garage AGAIN!

The rev counter stopped working a day or two back, and on the return trip home tonight everything coasted to a halt on the M1. Bye bye alternator, hello Topcats...

Still, at least I got to drive it for almost a whole week before it had to go back to the garage

Seriously. This time, nothing else can go wrong.

That was a good guess this morning, then... guess it wasn't just the big fuse!

It still could be the fuse I guess, but that's the cheap option, so I doubt it.

I feel for you Neil,

perhaps you should swap that smart TV for a cerb that works You really have had the raw end of cerbera ownership, to you, most would have given up by now.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you need a proper cerb fix, then mine is waiting

Have to add I've just got in from a massive session , so sorry.....if any offence is caused......byeeeeeee

Don't want to get your hopes up but it sounds like just the charging fuse to me.. clue seems to be the rev counter. I found the battery light doesn't come on if the fuse fails, but the rev counter plays up instead.
