  The (quality OE Varta) battery in my C5 V6 has finally given up the ghost after 8 years of service - well not given up but the starter seems more sluggish than usual. I ordered a Bosch S4 to replace it, just tackled the job expecting to run out of light - 5 minutes later the car was spinning

  When I put the engine under load, ie accelerate hard to overtake, the glow light comes on and the engine still runs but with reduced power. When I stop the car, turn off the engine, then restart, it appears to reset and all is ok until the next time I put it under load. I would be very grateful

• Ford Mondeo Estate 2002 2.0d - Tailgate Gremlin 19 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  My Mondeo estate has started to do a strange thing. It releases the tailgate whenever you start the engine. So, once the engine is running you have to get out and shut the tailgate. Then it stays shut for that journey. There is a way around this which is to lock the doors from the inside before

• 1998 Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 diesel - Poor Starting 10 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  Overnight this car has gone from being a very good starter, even in winter, to a reluctant starter first thing.  Turns over for several seconds without firing.  Have to try this 2 or 3 times before it goes.  Once running everything is normal.  OK until it has been left

• I was driving home on the A12 tonight, and...... 27 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  The sky was a vivid pinky red, the trees and even the pylons looked pretty. I had The Temptations running on Spotify through my aux in socket, a large V shape flock of slow moving birds crossed from right to left under the contrails left by a high flying jet. All of a sudden, I had this moment
