Please Help 96 Corsa Fault

Post by si_hartlepool »

Now then,

Bought a P reg 1.2ls today and i drove it tonight but i think theres something wrong!!

It was alright when i was first driving it but then the alternator belt started squeeling at me then it suddenly stopped. When it stopped, the headlights went very dim and the dials started playing up. The speedo was dropping to 0mph then going back up to the speed i was doing. The petrol guage dropped to say i had no petrol even though i had over half a tank. Now the speedo is stuck on 0mph all the time.

I've check to see if the alternator belt has snapped but it's still on and spinning fine.

The car had been sat for 2 month before i bought it. Could this be the problem?

Please Help

Thanks, Si
