Hi all,
I have survived on an old charger for many years, but it now needs replacing. What do I need to look for to ensure I have one that I can simply connect up and leave it to work out what is needed,ideally 35-40 pounds.
Any recommendations ?

My daughter needs to find a trustworthy garage in Leicester, preferably in the LE2 postcode area. She needs a driveshaft gaiter replacing on a Fiat Cinquecento. Fairly straightforward job, I know, but I have seen a lot of errors by some mechanics on this kind of work in the past.
Anyone able to recommend? Read more
Thank you for all your help. A wee girl in a distant city (from her home in Sunderland) will be eternally grateful for your efforts.
Hi HJ and All,
Sorry to hear about the problems, all I knew of it was that I could not log in this morning, otherwise busy over the weekend.
Is it true that two weeks are lost completely, not even a back up at the ISP?, they usually run RAID servers. Such a great shame if truly lost for ever!

The other one was on 84 posts so it's probably best starting a new one.
Shows how they're trying to show a more "ordinary" side driving other people's cars.
Can anyone tell me why the new A class' fog lights kept alterating when May was driving it?
(The "Star" in a Reasonably Priced Car has become incredibly boring - hence this post, and my imminent trip to the fridge for food)

He has an N reg Range Rover which has been there for over
a month. It was 7 grand, now it's £4,999.
Still a bit expensive to do a bobtail conversion on.....

money,
Vectra 1.9 CDTi's (the 150bhp engine) can now be obtained for the price jammods is willing to pay.
Wow. Well for the bikes anyway.

I even had to by a S***** T**** to read the driving supplement

Sorry Alan, I didn't realise.
I realise now (correctly I hope!) that the disclaimer is there purely to protect the site and HJ from being sued. Whether a claimant then wants to persue a BR member is up to him, but he'd have to do so using his own devices.

Does the fiesta have problems with power steering leaks? I have a 2002 freestyle which needed a new steering rack at 30K. Now my hubby's 2002 (new style) ghia needs a new steering rack, at 25K, just 1 month out of warranty and 5 weeks after a major service. The ford garage can only help by quoting me £750 plus labour. Have other owners had this problem and does it really cost that much?? (Sorry, I know very little about car mechanics).

Astragow,
Nip on (pardon the pun) to www.npoc.co.uk/default.asp and post yur question there (Nissan Primera Owners Club) and they should be able to help.
You will have to register but not necessarily have to join (£15 per annum).
Good luck!

It recovers bad batteries where possible with a high voltage/low current that helps repair the battery cells
That statement bothers me, if it does this while the battery is still on the car.
