The revs where to high so i adjusted the distributor cap, then i also disconnected a cable which is connected to the disributor cap, i then left this and decided to try to fix my brake lights as only one brake light was working, the bulbs are fine but i think there was a loose connection somewhere, i then looked at my rev counter and my revs where not working at all and then both breaks stopped working, and everytime i breaked the battery light comes on, Also when i am driving the rev counter works until i break and they stop working and the battery light comes on.
