Ford Fiesta Titanium 2017 - Completely unresponsive with faint internal alarm 22 Nov 2020 (Forum)
the slightest response when I try the ignition so I'm guessing some sort of immobiliser issue rather than a flat battery. Have also tried both keyless fobs so unlikely that both have happened to fail at same time. Any ideas? TIA! -

? Would this make sense from a used car dealer perspective, who may have an inventory of cars, and may need for some to be run to charge the battery and keep the car in condition. Or would it be a hassle for a used car dealer and admin expenses such as additional insurance, etc.? Any -

Peugeot 106 - Gearbox oil seal 11 Sep 2015 (Forum)
