Just a quick question, I have recently had a few spates of none starting sorted by changing the battery, there was nothing wrong with the battery but the terminals were damaged (probably by over enthusiastic tightening) anyway, with a new battery fitted, all is good with the car again, however, I have noticed one thing, before (old battery) , when the key was put in the ginition, all the needles would do a full sweep for a few seconds (a la Aston Martin) before settling back to the rest position, now, that doesn't happen. Just to re-iterate, the car works fine, the battery charges, all the systems work except this sweep

Is this anything to be unduly worried about?

Thanks in advance

The needle sweep is a sign of a nackered battery so now you have changed the battery it won't sweep! So don't panic all is now well with your puma.
