+ve first then -ve and yes, it will be your alarm going off, mine does the same, just use your key fob to stop and reset.

*dont * get the polarity wrong as you'll blow the alt and the fuse-links tucked away in the wiring loom down by the starter...

Dave, you'll remember my Alarm no doubt ???? Hows your head, bump gone down yet?????

Still searching for the hesitation/misfire problem by the way - new throttle body (alloy) and lcb exhaust manifold to fit next!!!!! I think I'm gonna get the lad a Corsa and keep the Mini, just can't risk him in the Mini after all this expense!!!!!!!!!!!

No, you havn't got a gauge and pipe already set up have you? I was going to wait till I put the adjustable regulator on and fit a gauge to it as it has a blanked port for a gauge (so someone told me?)

Why would it only show itself as a problem when feathering the throttle, surely it would be more likly to be evident on hard acceleration?

Do need to spend some quality time on it
