Mine is dipping into the 9's, I think my battery may be on its way out ? Car feels a bit lumpy too... 1972 Triumph Stag 1984 Alfasud TI 1999 Fiat Coupe Turbo LE 2005 350Z

Anonymous Unregistered A	Ive got an aftermarket Volt meter that really never drops below 11volts and that would be parked up say with the stereo going.
