grab yourself a power cap m8(they store power to supply a sub under load), i had this problem with my last car.

your ice may be burning out ur alternator although its new it can break instantly. i went through 3 brand new ones before i figured i needed a power cap.

so what was it ?

[Wobba]

Try this:

Open your boot, the boot light is on...right? Press the button on the hatch which switches it off. Is the light still on? If so, there's the problem.

Common fault.

[Wobba]

Sorted now? oops lol ok.

[richy]

Try this:

Open your boot, the boot light is on...right? pour a can of petrol in and throw a match in, shut the boot hey presto!

Com'on....
