• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 2003 1.8 Trip computer won't show miles 29 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  My 2003 Laguna 1.8 16v recently had the gearbox replaced as a result of differential failure. During the repair the battery was disconnected so I had to re-code the radio. (No problem) However the digital odometer and trip computer will now only indicate metric units, so my 110,000 mile car now

  or the clocks themselves. As I found a clock cluster at the breakers the other day i thought Id try it first. Q. - Do I need to disconnect the battery when I pull the connectors out of the old clock section and plug them back in the new one? I prefer not to do this if possible as I dont have the radio code
• FIAT Cinquecento (1993 - 1998) - 97 1.0 Stuttering Cinquecento Sporting 16 May 2008 (Forum)
  , particularly when under load and when the engine is hot. We also have a half-on battery warning light. When joining a main road it is necessary to slip the clutch seriously in order to keep the revs up, just to stop it stalling. We recently had to have a new clutch. The car has been on some longer runs

  and he said to try my spare key as the chip might have gone in the other one, but that didnt work. I don't think its the battery since it wouldnt start at all if it was? Any ideas of the prognosis or what could be causing it not to start up straight away? Thanks

  I tried to do a good deed and allowed to jumpstart their car via my megane 1.9DCI 2003 I dont know al ot about cars, but he connected the correct cables but think one of the cables was not touching the terminal- but instead that little pack that fits ontop of the battery & has wires and metal. He

  like a brake cylinder) saying Anti Pollution system has failed, which I take as a consequence of this filter not doing it's job. Manual say take it out for a run. Done this-still on.

  but im not sure if this would have caused a burn out Basically i want to test the fans to see if the motors are working but dont know much about electrics so dont want to go connecting a battery anywhere to it. People have talked about this 'briton sensor' on cars with aircon but ive been told
• 406 8v Turbo - Warning light issues 31 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I have a 406 8v Turbo (1998) which regularly shows the engine warning light during hard acceleration and the turbo cuts out. This is particularly annoying if your overtaking!! I disconnected the battery for some time to reset the ECU - made no difference. I have taken it to Peugeot for engine
• Renault Megane 1.4 Not Starting Right 19 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  . It then got worse and wouldn't start at all, even though it sounded like it was turning over properly, it just wouldn't start up at all :-( I bump started it and took it down to the local garage, but they couldn't find a fault. They said they checked the Battery, Starter Motor, Leads and Spark Plugs
• Why I'm not going to let cars in 6 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  , I let probably 30 cars in. Not one bothered to thank me. So you can make your own way. * I note that this comes across as a bit of a rant, but I'm in a rotten mood since my £200 bike lights have packed in after the blasted smart charger crashed and overcharged the £80 battery, I've gouged
• Picasso HDi Cambelt Crankshaft pulley 2 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  in and a battery charge warning appeared. Shortly after there was a big bang but the car continued to run.

• Water Ingress-VW Passat 1.8T Estate 2 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  and at a loss as to where the water is comming in and what to do about it? Other sites/bulletin boards suggest drains blocked under battery, or, sun roof rain channels blocked or pollen filter housing leaking-but pollen filter is on passenger side. I'd love to keep the car as otherwise its been OK, but as have
• Focus intermittent instrument failure 11 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  do their self-test sweep. The local Ford dealer say that it could be an earth, fuse or sensor problem. But since it is intermittent it's going to be hard to be sure of demonstrating the problem if I take it in to them. I have tried remaking the earths next to the battery, removed and replaced fuses
• Clio 1.2 Erratic running 19 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  weeks and had trouble getting it going when he came back, had to take the battery off a couple of times before it would start and run. At idle it occasionally misses, but a couple of times it just refuses to respond to the throttle, usually coming back after a moment or two. I wondered about coolant

  99' civic had an accident and beyond economical repair. The insurer paid me at market value (£3500) but I intend to dispute the offer price given the car has always been serviced by dealer. In additon, cambelt & exhaust, battery & engine oil were changed 6 months and 1 month respectively. I
