Hi Everyone, i've had a P12 since February this year (06 plate) and recently (owing to the longer dark hours) I noticed that I was suffering a loss of power when the lights were on, but if I flicked them off it was like engaging the booster! I originally took it to my local garage who checked the battery, checked the alternator output which were both fine and was left scratching his head - he suggested taking it in to an autoelectrician was the best course of action (and I went a little white at the thought of the cost!). After getting home I did some googling and came across NPOC and was thrilled to read that my problem was likely caused by a poor earth in the rear light clusters - i was even more thrilled after joining NPOC that someone had posted a step-by-step post with pictures detailing how to overcome the problem this a straight forward fix http://www.npoc.co.uk/forum/p12-rear-light-removal-now-with-simple-earth-fix_topic16533.html
I'm a very new member to NPOC but wanted to say both Hi and thank you in this first post as I did the fix last night and the problem is completely fixed! Looking at the number of members who have used that fix to great effect it really is the link that keeps on giving! Merry Christmas to you all, Adam |

Hi Adam! Well done on the fix! It's what we're all about.
It's well worth becoming a paid up member of NPOC.
You will find great satisfaction in looking after your own car and avoiding the hassle and expense of getting others to solve problems for you. Then, when you need professional help you will be able to deal with people from a position of knowledge and strength.
For me, I've never enjoyed owning a vehicle as much as I've enjoyed owning my primera. Plus, it's the cheapest car I've ever purchased and run. That's down to NPOC and the people here who make NPOC what it is. We all make a contribution.
