  • Peugeot 205 - Battery or Alternator ? 23 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    Our old faithful Pug 205 has started to become not so faithful and doesn't like starting in the morning, but then do any of us. So I need to find out if the problem is with the battery or the alternator. When I turn the key there is nothing, not even a click of the starter. I put the battery
  • Polo Mk3 battery well 20 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    Call me nuts, but I don't like the battery sitting under the windscreen driver side. The car has gone all rusty in there and water leaks into the footwell, if it is parked facing up-hill. I had it welded a good 6 - 8 years ago and it is now all rusty again. (originally it was caused by battery

  • Isuzu Trooper (1998-2003) - 01 3 Replace one battery, or two? 10 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    Has two batteries, which are apparently running at 25-40% efficiency. Personally I'd probably have replaced just one on the grounds that 1) I'm stingy 2) Does a car REALLY need 2 batteries - I know Toyota advertise putting 2 batteries in the Hilux so as to avoid being let down if one dies.
