  that thing. All help would be appreciated as I don't want to waste money on replacing my motor; at least from a benz garage. I've been thru them in my warranty period and they will simply replace anything which doesn't seem to be working. They have replaced my comand three times for a battery failure
• 1987 Renault 5 ... cutting-out 17 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  by the coil at all so ran a lead from the battery to get me home and there my Renault sits. This AA man suggests it is the ignition switch. But is it? They've asked me if there is something that disables the charge and both of them tried hitting various parts of the car (quite amusing methodology). The man
• Be careful out there! 29 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  set off and whilst we're driving. Firstly get that winter service done. I've got three to do. Most impotantly make sure your batteries and antifreeze are up to the job. Take a fully charged mobile phone and the garage/breakdown service number with you at all times! Think carefully about the route

  The Office has acquired one as a new pool car. Spent some time with it and its ok actually. 1400cc with battery assist. (!) A Japanese made Honda well and solidly built, leather interior, climate and CD player as standard, as well as heated seats ! Plenty of room for four adults and a Star Treck
• Computer Related Questions - Volume 56 16 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Working on my computer the other day I found that, while they produce a current for charging or powering devices connected to them, none of the 6 USB ports on my computer will handle signals or information. I connect my PDA to a port and the battery is charged but I cannot synchronise
• Astra diesel (Isuzu) cold starting probs 19 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  , then the battery would die and that was that. When it did start, it would run like a dog for at least two minutes with masses of smoke out of the back. However, switching it off and starting it again was no problem at all when the engine was even the slightest bit warm. So, after searching on here I found out
• Scenic intermittent (aagh!) electrical 3 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  so I don't think it's IR interference(?) I don't have a spare keyfob to try (£150 each!) but will get one if needed. I'll get a new battery for existing one, but I don't think the remote is the problem. Anyone had a similar experience with megane/scenic? I just know a dealer will fail to find
• Dead Fuel Injection Pump? 17 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  spluttered but never actually fired. After flattening the battery, I left it on charge overnight. This morning, after similar rather disappointing splutterings, I decided connect a plastic fuel tank I have directly into the fuel pump, the tank balancing rather precariously on the engine. With fuel now

• Mondeo Cold start 27 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  glowplugs without any benefit. I have also noticed on the Diesel pump their is 2 cables one of which is the accelerator and the other seems to go down to a module below the battery, this cable doesn't seem to work from cold or when ever the car is placed in reverse, apparently this could be a system
• Ducati left on the grid 21 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  My son in law has decided to sell his motor bike which he rarely used. Its a Ducati 600 SS model P Reg with 13k on the clock and in lovely condition. Asked me to help him get it started as it had stood in his garage for three months without being fired up. First step was to remove the battery

  . 0-2 Golfs in 5 minutes. I was a very happy bunny! All a bit spooky though. This is now our main car. Mark 1 gathering dust and flat batteries in our garage. I am in my 40's, my wife is in her 30's and we have 2 kids 6 and 1.5 years old. My wife is expecting number 3 in July. Tried a double buggy
• Sporty Coupe 21 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I fear that Madame at age ## has had a rush of blood to the head. In a few weeks the Golf that she isn't really entitled to but is driving anyway is due to go back to the leasing company. It's kept the tyres from flat-spotting, the brake discs clean and the battery charged. I was hoping

• Finally got a long drive in the Superb iV 27 May 2021 (Forum)
  ). Surprised me when the battery lasted just over 300 miles before dropping to zero and this was cruising with the ACC set at 72 mph for the whole 300 miles. We covered the 430 mile journey to the lodge in just under 7 hours driving time (both ways), pretty good average of 62 mph.   Got
• Three more test drives - Lexus, Peugeot and Skoda 27 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  -watering £46k, but the Allure model is about £10,000 less: how much less powerful it is can't be found out unless you buy one. Excellent performance: softer suspension than my Q2 but as a consequence rather roly-poly handling.  The battery was fully charged, and the electric motor
• FIAT Grande Punto - Fiat GPunto starting problem, glow plugs 13 May 2014 (Forum)
