• Peugeot 405 GDR diesil estate - Fuel problems 24 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Hi thereThis car has, until now, been the most reliable that I have ever owned, however it decided to die on me, I thought that pahaps I had run out of fuel, as it was showing low before this and the orange fuel light had come on, so went and bought some more and put it in, however she still will not go, tried priming the filter,( this is bolted to the battery housing, and has a primer on top) but the primer is drawing little or no fuel through, just to make sure that it is a definate fuel starvation problem, I filled the rubber inlet pipe from the filter to the engine manually, and she fired up right away, this morning, i took off the filter unit, and it had some fuel in it, but not full, I am now at the stage where I am left with the fuel pipe sticking up, but not going to anywhere, I flattened the battery whilst trying various things, so have now taken it off and put it on charge.As a chef I am not the best mechanic, however I can turn my hands to most things, I just wanted to ask, when I re connect the battery, and turn the engine should I see fuel being pumped up through the fuel pipe...?
• Ford Fiesa 2010 Zetec S TDCi - Not always starting 29 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  I went out to the car to go to work and found that it would not start, there was some life in the battery as the ignition was working and the radio / lights wer working but it would not start. I have been told by the dealer it is my phone that is draining the battery of the car and a software update is on its way which will fix this.

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 96 1.9TD - Cold starting problem 16 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  If I leave it for a bit then start it again no smoke - and starts fine. "Pig-tails" don't take longer than ordinary to go out. Battery voltage from cold this morning (09:00) was 12.7v. I got it going then drove it for about 40-50 mins (had to drop the maid to work) and left it running whilst I checked the voltage on the battery.
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 1999 1.8 Central Locking 3 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  The best way of resolving issues with Mondeo Central Locking is firstly to determine whether it's the remote or the Central Locking unit. Basically check the battery in the remote and replace if necessary. If the remote battery is good and the system partly works then the cure that I use is to simply disconnect the battery and leave it for 30 seconds or so and then reconnect it.
• My lousy Xantia 12 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  Turned off alarm under bonnet. All the warning lights come on but starter motor is dead. Youngest son arrives says battery done for. Hell it`s only 7 and a half years old !! Stuck jump leads on and off she went. Ran around a bit to charge battery. Problem is the red light that flashes when the alarm is armed now glows continuously with the ignition on or off but at least the screaming has stopped.

• Why do electric cars cost so much? 20 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  With simpler engine (motor) and lack of gearbox, they should be far cheaper. Is the cost due to battery? Is it the manufacturing cost or because of patent/royalty etc.?
