Evening all.

My dad has returned from holiday to find a flat battery on his 2000 1.4 fabia ( and not for the first time as he barely drives it and needs a jump quite often). Any how the car has a reasonably new battery (about 18 months old).

On ignition the engine management light, battery and power steering lights are on. Gauges are on and indicator and head lamps work. When revved to 1200 rpm all lights go out, gauges drop off but power steering is disabled. As soon as the revs drop off the light are back on as are guages, there is also warning tone.

I haven't got a meter to check voltage or read the codes but thought I'd ask before getting it to a garage.

Thanks in advance
