• Rover 200 (1995 - 1999) - 97 1.4 Car won't stop running... 18 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  I recently changed both the alternator and starter motor on my Rover 214i and now my car won't stop running, even when I take the key out of the ignition or take the battery off. The only thing that turns the car off is switching the headlights on. Any suggestions as to what might be the problem? Thanks...

  I've always thrown mine in the household waste bin, although I think I may now be breaking a law. Down at the Household Waste Recycling Centre (Tip) there's somewhere for the oil, batteries & tyres, but I've never seen anywhere for the filter. Any ideas?

  The car is an old but much loved 205 cabrio fitted with the original Clarion radio/cassette player. New battery fitted and needed to enter the radio code. Entered 1114 instead of 1113 (small buttons big fingers...) and the radio froze. Owners manual says that it is now locked and has to be taken to a Pug dealer.

• Mk5 Escort - Heater Blower's stopped! 14 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Thought it might be the switch - swapped that over but still no sign of life. Connecting the blower directly to the battery and it springs into life. Any advice on what to look at next? Its getting pretty cold just now. Cheers Rob

• Vauxhall corsa exploding oil filler cap 11 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Yesterday she noticed smoke coming from under the bonnet and when it was opened the oil filler cap was lying beside the battery and the oil had covered the manifold causing the smoke.

• carisma gdi trip computer 12 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  The manual gives simple instructions for resetting the mpg and the avg speed but none for recalibrating the tank range (If it can actually be done). Also the battery has already been disconnected for another problem and that didnt help either. Any ideas. thanks!
• Rover Radio code 1 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  I know the code as he wrote it on the side of the radio and in the caravan instruction book. We can't seem to get it to take the code after the battery been disconnected all winter. It has 4 number buttons and the usual opperating buttons i think its out of a old 200/400 series any ideas?
• 406 Coupe indicator 25 May 2006 (Forum)
  When I lock my 406 Coupe using the remote, the nearside indicators sometimes stay lit (without flashing) until I unplug the battery. I understand that a quick fix is to bypass the electronics that make the indicators flash when the car is locked. Would someone be able to advise me on how to do this? My Coupe is a 99 2.0 D8 model (i've not had much luck on peugeot406coupe.com with this one) Many thanks in advance

  and it has and alarm on (3rd party i think) which all of a sudden has started going off randomly, even when it is supposedly switched off and when you are driving. I thought it might be the battery but it was new about 6 months ago, so has anyone else got any ideas what it could be?! Thanks
