The flicking speedo and rev counter is NOT a jump lead connection problem, its a Flat battery issue!

Jump leads on xantias is not as critical then newer cars. connect both up with engines off..

I tried jumping the wife's 106 with my HDI and since then I've had an air bag light on. No more jump starts on or from mine.
