• Ford mondeo st220 - Engine sluggish 21 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  My st220 on start up the revs are fine idle about 1000 but after 1 minute drops to 800 and then moves between 1000 and 800 constantly the battery light flickers on and off it seems to be losing power as the dash lights also dim when this is going on. Is this the alternator ? Or something else and are there any remedies that I can do it's also bank holiday so no garages are open.

• EV sales breakthrough? 5 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  So, it seems  the way to crack the nut of selling EVs is not price, or range, or charging point availability, or battery longevity.  Its to put a desirable badge on the front, then people take it seriously. Also, 176bhp and rwd is worth a second look too for some (like me) http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/i3/84776/bmw-i3-waiting-list-five-months-a-test-drive I wonder who many 320D drivers might move to one of these?

• Mk V Golf - Passenger Door Wont Lock 28 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Couple of weeks later and it wont lock at all, be it with the fob or just using the key. I tried my other fob just in case it was a problem with the battery and still got the same problem. Any ideas what it could be? And rough costs?
• 2010 Peugeot 407 SW Diesel - Slow Crank?? 5 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  Car is approaching 3 years old and with the cold weather the crank is quite slow to the point that I am thinking about replacing the battery, but they last longer than that don't they? Which makes me think it could be charging system (though lights are fine) or starter motor, both of which are under warrantee. Any thoughts please?

• Renault Modus 1.5dci - Power Steering Problem 12 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  Scanner code comes up with "106" which is an ECU fault apparantly. I've checked all fuses and they are fine. I've also disconnected the battery to see if that resets anything overnight. Any thoughts on what else it could be or how much to fix if I need a new steering column (with electric power steering motor)?

  picture the scenario,friday evening rush hour,motorway tailback, serious stop start traffic for in excess of an hour,how does a vehicle with stop/start cope with the constant re-starting of the engine,without the battery becoming drained,thus rendering your car immobile in the middle lane,the reason i ask is i was behind a 61 plate kia sportage in stop/start and it seemed to be struggling after about 35minutes of stop/start traffic

• Ford Fusion 1.4 automatic 2007 - fails to start intermitently 30 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Occasionally 3 times in the last 12 months turning the key does nothing even though the dash indicates neutral is selected. My work around is to disconnect a battery terminal for a few seconds then reconnect. This seems to reboot the computer and the car starts ok. Any ideas as to how to cure this?
