• Keeping a camera in the car 7 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  incorporate a camera of sorts, I vaguely remember reading that digital images have no legal standing because they are so readily manipulated.

  valves to stick open slightly , hence the lack of compression. When the fault occurs, the only way to solve it is continued cranking until (after several flat batteries) the engine splutters into life. Apart from this sporadic problem the engine runs quietly and without problems. Please any ideas

  "STOP!" caption in the instrument cluster. I would normally say "Earth" for something like this, but unless the instrument cluster has a backup battery, this appears unlikely to be the cause. Ideas? Nothing apparently relevant in the CBCB. As I say, the car's at a Merc dealer who couldn't fix

  that twice before I try to start the car. Couple of people have said the Glow plugs might need changing. Could this be the case or could it be something else? (Battery seems good).

  SWMBO has had to call out the breakdown services today. She left her lights on in her Honda CRV and flattened the battery. Stupidly it does not have a lights on warning buzzer. She was parked on a hill and _could_ have bump started it - but she did not know how, as she has not had an auto before
