• Honda Civic diesel hatchback (2004) - Steering kick-back 24 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  . A faulty battery was diagnosed, and I thought replacing the battery would solve all steering problems, but it didn't. The garage has not been able to find anything wrong, and has just given an MOT pass to the car. They suggest that I might need a new steering rack if the problem continues
• Mazda 2 - Mazda 2 problem starting from cold 29 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  My 59 plate Mazda 2 won't start when the temperatures are low (around minus 5 and below).  This first happened last Winter.  I assumed it was a flat battery (the car hadn't been driven over the weekend so I got a local garage to jump start it and no problems).  However
• Chrysler Voyager - Dashboard lights not working 25 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  It's a 2001 diesel voyager.  Car needs a new steering rack, plus tax & MOT, so decided to have it off the road Nov & Dec. Battery went dead, so charged it up, and an alarm (not the normal one) kept going off, so had to disconnect battery. Connected it back up to try
• peugeot 306 meridian 1.4 petrol - peugeot 306 problem 21 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  hi, my pug 306 cut out just after starting (i think the earth wire on the battery came loose and lost connection) but when i put it back on all the ignition lights stay on without the key in. The car does start but it has to be stalled to cut it out. I had a friend take a look and says the starter

• 2002 Toyota Rav4 diesel - Multiple dashboard warning lights on at once 8 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Hi first post! Today after a short 1.5 hr stop I started the car to find 3 dash warning lights lit up (where before there were none (and never have been)):- the battery discharge light, the low oil level light and the fuel filter light. I limped home (3 miles in dark - all seemed fine
• HJ's Nissan Leaf "how far can you go" review. 17 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  similar “how far can we go on a gallon of fuel” test enraged me - the "Pious" set off with fully-charged batteries + a gallon of fuel - that test was simply unfair, the energy in the "Piouses" batteries didn't come from nowhere - it cost fuel to put it there! Rant over - I'll go
• Fiat Spyder 2L - Starting after 12 months non use 4 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  in the past,  about once every 12 months.  It is fitted with a Bosch injection system that appears to be single point?  Easy start allows it to fire  up (probably on the ether) and then will sputter on 1/2 cylinders when cranking, but not run.  The battery is remarkably lively
• Vauxhall Corsa B (1993 - 2000) - 99 1.2 Car didn't start - causes? 21 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Had trouble starting my car this morning, I had not driven it for well over a week because I have been ill, my dad drove it once last week. I started it this morning and it wouldn't start, it just sounded very weak. I then noticed a bit later it didn't sound any weaker so concluded the battery

  but the battery. The E6 is roomy with space for five passengers and a good-sized boot. The battery tucks under the back seat. It needs 7-8 hours with a domestic plug to charge the car but BYD - it stands for Build Your Dreams - says a specially developed fast charging point with a lead the diameter of a fire

  arm, and leads which have made it sound a little less "rough" when it does start, but doesn't actually help with the problem. Yesterday I charged the battery fully (as I thought that I had been trying to start it so much I don't want to completely deaden the battery) and this mornign it did try

I did a forum search and someone mentioned dodgy relays, or that disconnecting the battery for ten minutes can sometimes fix the problem. I have tried the battery disconnection but it had

• DIY-Proof Cars 14 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  I've just given up trying to change the oil on my Fiat Multiwagon, having discovered that my new Halfords wrench for removing the drain plug wont't fit (this has nine heads and 'fits most cars'). I've also found that it is impossible to replace any of the front bulbs myself, as the battery blocks
• Is it worth buying?? 24 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  as the battery was dead, however the interior is not too bad considering. Exterior is really covered in moss etc but appears to just need a good clean. I reckon I'm going to need new tyres, belts,suspension bushes, oil, filter, plugs, battery brakes, gearbox oil, maybe a new cat and whatever else!!! Probably

  Hi. I have a '96 Renault Espace 2.0 petrol injection. A few weeks ago the car suffered a massive electrical failure which has been traced to an alternator over charge of the battery. Most lights that were on at the time blew plus a few fuses. The fuses, battery and alternator have been changed
