My daughter's car often won't start after standing unused for only 2/3 days - no power from the battery. The battery is OK, current drain is acceptable when engine is turned off, it's charging OK with the engine running.
I've read elsewhere that a software upate has solved this problem for other people, but my dealer doesn't know of such a fix. Has anyone else experience of this starting problem, and have they heard of / used this software update to solve the problem successfully, please? Read more
A colleague has been sold a supposedly new Ford engine, but is suspicious of how old it actually is. Does anyone know of a way of finding out?
I've got a headache from googling and looking at vatious websites. Read more
Thanks for the info.
Hi.
I have a 2005 Citroen Dispatch van and having recently changed the battery now have a radio that needs the code - which I have no idea of.... Read more
Hi
The radio's on these are coded through the BSI. Main dealer only unfortuantely....
The method of using antibiotics prophylactically in farm animals has been around for decades. With a growing quantity of antibiotic resistance in individuals, however, the FDA has ordered farmers to severely restrict antibiotic use. How often have you needed more details on tips to getpayday loans instant approval, and turned to an online search on xxx
More people showing antibiotic resistance
In the U.S., over half of the staphylococcus aureus infections are resistant to the four leading antibiotics used for infections. That means bacteria are becoming more resistant to medication. Every time bacteria are in contact with an antibiotic, it becomes more resistant. This can be a constant war that antibiotics and bacteria face. When a human gets antibiotics in meat, it is the same as getting an antibiotic in a narcotic. Whenever a mutated superbug infects someone, it becomes something that anybody could be infected by, not just the one individual.
When you eat meat, milk, eggs or other animal products, you are able to expect there to be antibiotics in them. Typically, large-scale animal producing operations will keep antibiotics in animals to keep them healthy in unsanitary conditions, which make it easier to produce more animals. Animals are given the antibiotics to help them grow more quickly sometimes or even right before slaughter. They are the same antibiotics you can find in humans.
Partial Food and Drug Administration ban
Antibiotics have never been limited by the FDA before. Now, the Food and Drug Administration has limited the preventative narcotics that can be given to an animal. Cephalosporins is a last resort antibiotic for humans. Now, it can no longer be used in animals, except in special circumstances.
“We believe this is an imperative step in preserving the effectiveness of this class of important antimicrobials that takes into account the need to protect the health of both humans and animals,” said Michael R. Taylor, deputy commissioner for foods at the FDA.... Read more
Stange post - animal antibiotics and payday loans in one post! LOL
Hi, I am a disabled driver and own a Chrysler LX Grand Voyager (Graz built GS). It is equipped with the 3.3 L Petrol engine and the 41TE Autotransaxle with a total mileage of 140,000 on the Odometer. The vehicle is serviced regularly and ordinarily runs faultlessly.
Eight weeks ago the vehicle suddenly failed to engage 3rd gear whilst gently accelerating before dropping into limp mode. Immediately before this occurred the engine very briefly cut out twice (almost a misfire as re-engaged instantaneously), this had occurred randomly on several previous occasions during the preceding 3 months but had NO adverse effect on the transmission shift so not sure if this is even relevant.
Unfortunately as my income is extremely limited taking the vehicle into a dealer is outside of my budget. Maintenance & repair is therefore conducted with the assistance of friends or through smaller garages who's expertise is limited.
With this in mind the diagnosis of this issue has been limited to reference to the Internet with assistance from OBD fault code checking at a small (non transmission specialists). No codes were obtained and communication with the TCM was not possible.
Whilst there were many of these vehicles sold in the UK it appears few garages possess the diagnostic software which can interact (other than occasionally on a very basic level) with Chrysler's onboard OBD II diagnostic/programming system. Thus it is possible that the lack of transmission fault codes may be indicative of equipment incompatibility and thus a failure to recover any codes RATHER than a total absence of any codes in the first place. Thus it is perhaps a false negative?
In the process of troubleshooting this transaxle issue, the fluid (Mopar ATF +4) was checked for level and condition. In fact the mechanic considered the fluid to be in such excellent condition (neither burned, contaminated nor discoloured) that he chose to reuse as much as he could before topping the level with fresh Mopar ATF +4. The filter & gasket were also replaced, noting that the pan magnet was found to be totally clean on inspection without even the faintest trace of metallic deposits.
Subsequently both input & output speed sensors have been replaced along with the shift solenoid using the latest available Mopar OEM replacement (new) parts.
Despite all of the above remedial actions the vehicle continues to fail to engage 3rd gear and above and simply drops back into limp mode.
I would very much value any suggestions, thoughts, assistance you might be able to offer as what/where to look next. Also any guidance on replacing the TCM (I have one sitting on a 98 LE with a damaged engine I keep for spares) and what is involved (what, if any, re-programming is required) other than disconnecting and refitting?
A .pdf of a 2000 NS Diagnostic Procedures Manual for the Transmission would also be very helpful if any forum members can assist or point me in the right direction. NB. I have the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures Manual but this does not really cover the A604/41TE Transmission and how to troubleshoot any issues (especially electrical) in situ.
All/any help you can offer will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Voyager Pilot

I would blame the traffic controllers. The signage is woefully inadequate to expect 4 lanes to move left in perfect synchronisation. The old lane markings should have been erased and new lines used to guide the traffic. Read more
HI how can i get a radio code for a serial begining with e
Hey man, that you have to pay is not right. Please check by yourself nowhere is asking for payment. The code is retrieved instantly.

Hi,
I recently had my alternator changed, but not the battery. Now the battery crapped out recently, and I've had it replaced, the downside, the chap replaced it at the side of the road. Now everything is fine except for my electric windows.
The switch is two steps down, two steps up, so a slight push (one click) allows me to manually operate them, while a full push (two clicks) makes them go down all the way on their own, the same for up (1 click = up manually, two click = up automatically all the way).... Read more
Hi guys,
Cheers for that, I will get them re-programmed ASAP ;)
I knew the info would probably be in the owners manual, but I'm not near my owners manual at the moment, so rely on your chaps to help me out ;)...

Thanks - a few things to think about and look at over the weekend.
