  the fuses is both the fuse boxes (in the engine compartment near the battery, and under the drivers-side console), but all were fine. I then checked the battery (which was only replaced a few months ago) and that also appears to be charged and in full working order. I tried a number of things to narrow
• BMW X5 E53 SUV (2000 - 2007) - Advice needed re: used vehicle 18 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  To cut a long story short, I didn't have the most favourable experience in purchasing my used vehicle (delay in collection, problems with updates etc). However, these things happen. However, I had to call out BMW assist 4 days after getting the car due to a battery problem, and at this time I

• LV Britannia Rescue 14 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  are quite high even with the CSMA discount, you just dont know what the level of service from the 'new' organisation is going to be like. But this morning, I received a rather confusing letter from LV BR. The gist of it seems to be  saying if one has a flat tyre, flat battery or siezed brakes

  if he had something else that might fit. Needless to say it was a shock when Toyota quoted £88.00 + VAT for the part. Also, it looks like the lithium batteries in these things only last for 5-10 years then the whole units have to be replaced which would be upwards of £400 in total

  a tank of fuel), both amber lights appear on my dashboard, and I'm unable to accelerate. The engine didn't cut off as I have a new battery/alternator belt. I had to pull over and restart my engine, which fixes the problem and I'm off again. So it seems when my revs lower, the car just can't gas

• Going electric? 18 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  car for family holidays etc so doing away with the Volvo is probably unrealistic but a big battery Leaf or similar could potentially do the job and it would save me forking out £720 on timing and ancillary belt changes plus a service and it’s due two expensive tyres at the back too.
• 2010 fiat 500 - My gf Fiat wont start after changing break bulbs!! 26 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  come on. The starter of the car will not start to spin at all so I thought maybe the battery is bad and tried to jump start it but still nothing. So for me this should be a fuse but I have checked all the fuses and they are good apart from the big square ones which I’m not even sure are fuses

  and got out the engine fan was very loud and took a minute or two to slow down and stop. I checked coolant etc and there was no problems. I took it for another spin just now and noticed that the battery light did not go off. The temp gauge quickly went up to just below 90 but nothing
• any - rear dashcam 8 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  ?   it will be a pita to keep having to reset the time every time i leave the car for more than 48 hours, this is a problem with some Transcends too (having no battery as such, one of our two loses the time in about 36 hours) but the Transcends are fortunately easy peasy to reprogram the time.
• Hyundai Coupe - Strange Electric Failure 20 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  about the light in the boot (it was 4am after all...). As a result, when I got out to the car the next day, it appeared the battery had died. Now when I turn the key nothing happens at all and the light in the boot is off so I just assumed as much. It's probbaly worth mentioning that I drove

  stall.  I've replaced the battery, glow plugs and also taken the egr valve out and cleaned it and sprayed the rest of the cleaner down the intake with the engine running.  I didn't take the egr appart anymore than the valve.  Should I be looking at cleaning another part that might

  to jump start the car - just disconnected and tested the battery (which is the original one and was fine).  All in all the RAC man spent over two hours working on the car, plugging a laptop into it and trying to reset the fuel cutoff (which was fine) but he concluded by deciding it needed a new key
• Nissan Micra - Hello there! 4 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  if there may be anything on it that may be in demand. Otherwise I will probably drive it to the scrap yard, less than a mile away from me, and keep the wheels and battery - apparently she recently had 4 new tyres fitted, and the spare is untouched. thanks
