    M & S dash warning lights ??

    The m & the S warning lights came on the other morning when I started the car. I turned off the ignition and restarted the motor all was good.
    2 days later on a cold start they came on again and we drove it up the shops. At the shops it took a lot of reving to pull in and park.
    we restarted it 20ish mins later and it was fine with no M/S lights and we drove home with no problems.
    Any ideas on the cause and cure ?

    Battery voltage dropping on starting will do this.
    Cold starts make the battery work extra hard so yours may be on the way out. A simple load test by an auto leccy will let you know.
