• Focus bulb change - not as hard as I thought. 16 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  The nearside dipped headlight bulb blew on the Focus yesterday. That's supposed to be the 'impossible' one because the battery is mounted behind it. Other forums talk of removing the lamp unit, which involves dropping the wheel arch liner because one of the fixing screws is hidden under it. I

  Hi Please can you advise. C Class estate, 1999. I have had a flat battery. RAC have advised that this is due to an intermittent fault with the cooling fan coming on after the engine has been switched off. Removal of the relevant fuse prevents this happening and RAC guy advised to take this out

• VW Sharan alternator 27 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  The alternator died recently on my Sharan. The replacement new item died after less than a week. Fortunately it's a company car and won't cost me anything to have it fixed. However, what puzzles me is that there was no indication from the dashboard lights that the battery wasn't charging. When

• Very slow starting Bedford Turbo lorry 5 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  I have a Bedford Turbo horse lorry. B reg, SH suggests it has been cared for. It runs no more than once a week, sometimes less, and is very slow to start. It has a new 95Ah battery but that does not have enough reserve to run the starter for the time it takes, so I have an older but serviceable

• Peugeot 306 remote key 12 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  My other half's 306 (V reg) has what I assume is an infra-red remote key (the one with a red light next to the buttons). Batteries have never seemed to last very long, but the ones I replaced last week have already failed. There seems little point in just putting in new batteries every few days

  " sound... I didn't run away thinking this was a bomb as this happened once before and it cost me a £65 call out from the garage to be told "I just tried the key in your door mate". I tried this about 50 times along with wrestling with the neg terminal on the battery to no avail. anyway Let me explain
• 2 perplexing problems 1996 Range Rover 20 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Mysterious flat battery AND No starter motor action. I have only had my P38 Range Rover for 2 weeks when the brand new battery went flat over a period of 3 days of non-use. I thought that one of the kids had left a reading light on or something (but not so). So I fitted a spare, fully charged
