• Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3 LX - Voyager 3.3LX starting problem, no spark at plug 4 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  there is no spark at the plugs (lately it has got so bad that sometimes the battery will go flat and I have to jump start it).  The crank case sensor, plugs and leads have all been changed and had no effect.  Last week an auto electrician examined the car and said he thought it was the ECU, only problem

• Vauxhall Astra MkV 1.7 CDTI (diesel) - Engine management light 11 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  leads me to believe it might be a battery problem. Does anyone think the same or know if there is any battery sensing ciruits that are very voltage sensitive that might cause this ? A decent battery (in excess of 600 CCA) is about £100 and I'll get one eventually, but would like some

• Citroen C15D Van - electric no-go 29 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  sharp bodywork and has earthed it. Disconnect battery quickly as lead is very hot. No other signs of problems. Replace battery, nothing, buy new battery, replace it , nothing. Recover vehicle to home. Strip ignition switch and rebuild, still nothing. Replace starter motor and solenoid
• price matching advertised 22 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  I went to buy a tv today, sunday, at a local shop - I had negotiated on leads, stand etc and the tv had been chosen - it was done this way so they couldn't bump up the price of the TV at a later date. The one chosen was 1349+60 set up and delivery in this store - but I had found
• Ford Fiesta - Fiesta Engine Trouble 1.25 zetec 16v 3 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  changed the plugs, the leads, the coil pack. I've tried disconnecting the MAF engine is no different whatsoever, tried disconnecting the lambda, this made the engine slightly improve on idle but no change to driving. The idle is smooth except when the AC is on, then it struggles and 'pops', disconnecting
• Fiesta Mk4 1.25 Zetec 1999 - Fiesta power loss under acceleration 27 May 2011 (Forum)
  of googling I thought the problem was down to the MAF sensor, but turns out the car doesn't have one! All the little hoses coming off the engine appear to be attached and intact. There's no misfire as far as I can tell. So I'm after any other suggestions. I'm reluctant to just change plugs/leads/coil

• Reporting Someone for Driving with a Brain Injury 29 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  anymore, even after being told by the doctor. This has lead them to lie to the doctor about continuing to drive. Obviously i can't ring their doctor due to confidentality reasons and i've been told they are the only persons allowed to report someone for driving with such illness. My main concern

• peugeot 306 glx petrol 1.6 1997 - 306 glx petrol starting fault ecu immobiliser 31 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  the cold weather made my 306 harder and harder to start, then it wouldnt even turn over. Tried jump leads, didnt even start, so got a new battery to make sure it had the right juice. It started. The next day, it wouldnt start again. Jump start, it wouldnt start, eventully it did, turn it off
• Ford Focus - Impending fuel system problems 28 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  when I bought it (at 71,000 miles so it's due another service quite soon). The engine has always been notably coa*** and rough under load -- not massively so, think along the lines of an early-2000s Korean engine, but noisier than I would expect a leading manufacturer to be. It's just on the upper edge

  management light came on and it developed a misfire, together with giving out alot of blue smoke when revving. I immediately changed the HT Leads, Sparks and Coil Pack to try and solve the misfire but to no avail. I decided to take the engine head off to see what the problem was. On removing
• Citroen ZX wont start. Help! 2 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  is that it won't even attempt to start, and everything seems to be OK. I'm going to change the ignition system tonight as it probably needs doing anyway (distributor cap, rotor arm, plugs, leads), and check the compression. Any other ideas on what could be causing this? - it's driving me mad!
