• crd ltd 2003 - Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I have a grand Cherokee jeep crd ltd auto 2003 - 2685 cc- a  few weeks ago I had the injectors replaced since then the car is very difficult to start in the morning , I have had the heater plugs changed, the relays tested ok, and a new battery, this has made no difference , in the mornings the car -which is kept outside - will take anything from between 40 & 110 seconds to start! If I turn the engine constantly, this morning I cranked the engine for 150 seconds but it didn't start and I didn't want to run the battery flat so I sprayed a very small amount of easy start into the air intake and it fired up immediately.

• Volkswagen Golf V - GOLF V 1.9 TDI hot start - how to remap? 12 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  I don't really have any interest in getting a performance upgrade etc, I would just like to iron out this bug and be kinder on the battery/starter.... If this is all correct then I would be really grateful for a recommendation for where I can get this done nr South/West London and how much it is likely to cost? Please assume I know nothing about ECU fiddling!!
• alternative tech - KERS for the road 5 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  And instead of huge Lithium Ion cells under the seats weighing things down, the limited amount of electricity stored could be taken care of with smaller battery / flywheel / capacitors. Are the amounts of electricity and storage technology not quite there yet  to make this practical, or are there other reasons?

• Peugeot 306 - 306 Diesel Pump & Alternator problems! Please help 8 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. My car battery died the other day, and turns out that it was due to a fault with the alternator. Upon investigation, it appears that the diesel pump was leaking diesel. Not only this, but it was dripping in the alternator which had caused it to stop charging the battery.

• Mazda 5 - urgent help needed please re mazda 5 return 19 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Basically, I bought a Mazda 5 two weeks ago and it has already been back in the garage with some problems. The garage says they can't find any faults and now, to top it all off the battery has died. I want to return the car for a refund and just wondered if anyone here can help me with advice on this or point me in the right direction. I know there is a 30 day guarantee but the garage haven't told me the conditions.
• Renault Clio I Diesel - Non Starter 23 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  The battery is charging at 14.3volts when the car is running, once the car has been started, even for only minutes it will then start and run all day with no problems, it just seems that it never wants to start if it is left more than 8-10 hours, diesel is getting to the pump ok, and the heater plugs work as they were tested out of the car resting on the engine.
