    no lighs whatsoever,I havnt the time r cash to fix,me heart is broke, if anyone new a mechanic r thought they might b able to fix it themselves I'd jus sell it at a loss nd forget about now at this stage,nct till the 7 of 17 is a clean example apart from the problem obviously

    Probably best to stick it on the motors forum, someone there might be able to help you out or recommend someone
