deffo alternator then!
Will get my multimeter on it tomorrow.

Doesn't explain why the 4WS isn't working though.

4WS is electric, maybe there isnt enough juice to power it?

When my alternator packed up on the trackcar, it tripped out the 4ws.
1 of the 4ws error reasons is the Alternator

...and alternator it is

Only pushing out 11.9v when engine running.

I drove with my one knackered. Your allright untill your speedo and rev counters die, after that you only have 5-10 minutes of juice left before the engine misfires and dies completely.

I have another car, so not the end of the world. Prelude can sit there until replacement arrives!

At least its your alternator its an easy swap i would rather that than 4ws or abs problems

Well, I've got to replace the alternator and see if it makes the other lights go out first!!
