  SWMBO's Corsa 1.2 petrol is just 6 months old and she's having (minor) problems with the locking system. The courtesy lights stay on after locking and also at time when driving the car. To avoid draining the battery (there are 4 footwell and three sets of overhead lights) I've removed the fuse

• Mondeo 1.8TDi - Drivebelt or alternator? 20 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Dumb question; I had all the belts replaced early last year (Mondeo 1.8TDI). For the last month or so I have been getting a squeal from the alternator belt when pulling away, especially on a cold engine. (I know, I should have seen to it earlier). Just pulled up at home and the battery light has
• engine quiting. Ford Puma 9 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  lights go thru their start up sequence and power would drop for a little bit. Some times it would just die and I would be stuck in road for 5 minutes until it started back up. Doesn't seem to battery as lights are ok and connections look fine. You can hear fuel pump so I think the immobiliser is ok

  - nothing. Come back later - starts on the button. On one occasion it died soon after starting but then restarted shortly afterwards. It had a new battery a couple of months ago, I invariably replace it just to ensure no problems later. I assume it is some electrical gizmo with an intermittent fault - one

  Hi, I have a 1995 SPi Rover Mini Cooper, and she has somehow decided that she doesn't want to start. The battery is fully charged, it turns over but won't fire up. Have used a voltmeter to check that the full 12v is going to the coil. For some reason, there are no sparks coming from the HT lead
