• Immobiliser on Mercedes S-class W140 24 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I can get in using the remote control; the doors unlock; but then when you go to start the car with the key, the red and green lights on the mirror come on and the car won't start. The only way round is to disconnect the car battery for TWO days. This then makes the car lose its settings and then it starts. Andy Gayle said put some new batteries in the remote, which I've done, but the remote was indicating a full charge. I'm not sure if it'll happen again and if so, when.
• Rover 45 2.0 TDi starting problems 4 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I have tried leaving the glow plug light on for longer before trying to start it, but the only thing which seems to eventually work is to pump the accelerator until it eventually catches. The car has covered 74,000 miles and although the battery appears to be the original the cranking speed seems fine and the battery condition indicator has always been green. Under normal conditions I hardly turn the key and she is away and runs great returning approx. 50-54mpg.
• Mondeo TD Electrical problem 29 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Even as we stood beside the car with the hazards flashing you could see the interior light dimming every time the flashed, this leads us to the probable conlcusion that the battery has died. But, there were no warnings of any problems with alternator, what exactly would cause a battery to just stop working in mid jounrey? Unless anyone can think of a more likely culprit for the lights dimming etc?
• Galaxy ABS warning light 17 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  We replaced a worn-out battery on our V reg 92,000 mile Galaxy 2.3 Ghia X last week, after which we noticed that the ABS warning light came on. We phoned our local Ford dealership who said that this could be as a result of having disconnected the battery, and that we should run the car for about 150 miles during which it might reset itself.
• Vauxhall Vectra Fuse/Relay Help 14 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 1997 Vauxhall Vectra V6 SRi, yesterday when i turned the radio on and off very quickly the dash display froze, I had to disconnect the battery to get it to go off. On reconnecting the battery the instrument panel is not working, no speed, fuel gauge, also no indicators, no electric windows and no electric exterior mirrors are working, I have checked all the ordinary fuses within the car all seem to be ok, the radio now works ok again but these new problems have come about.
• More b****y Mondeo woes 19 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Left it to late to walk and they wont all fit on the Blackbird, so thought take the Mondeo it'll be ok for 5 mins. Battery so flat the clock doesnt even work. Kids wont take no for an answer, so root out the old battery I kept when I scrapped the Passat months ago. On with the jump leads and it starts first time. Well done Passat.
