• Battery Recommendations? 10 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  The signs are that I'm close to needing a new battery on my 1992 BMW 525i automatic. I thought I'd get a quote from the local BMW dealer but also from a couple of other sources. I'm after a good quality battery at a reasonable price; the trouble is I am out of touch with the technology and don't
• Dead Battery Question 29 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  I left my lights on (for a few days - oops! - I'm student scum) which resulted in a call out to RAC. They reckoned my 7 mile drive would be enough to charge battery up again, but it wasn't, and I needed a jump start at the other end. On my way back I stopped halfway, cut the engine (on a downhill

• Audi warranty 27 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  My sons 67plt A6 tdi recently had a battery failure where he could not start his car and the RAC confirmed it was a battery fault/failure. The dealer is saying because he had the radio playing for longer than 30 mins where he waited for the RAC. The warranty for the battery is void

• Fiesta MK3 Battery Charge Light 18 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  A friend mentioned in passing that her battery warning light is on the whole time the engine is running. As this has been so for 2 or 3 months and her battery has not gone flat, the usual causes can be discounted. I'm looking at the car later this week and any suggestions would be welcome. It's

  Sister no. 2 has an M-reg 2 litre Ford Probe. It is proving very efficient at draining the battery of power. If she leaves the car unused for 3 or 4 days, the battery goes flat, even after a period of repeated long trips. The car has been into several garages for investigation, but the problem
