• BMW E91 330d - BMW E91 NON C.A fob not working. Diversity antenna 28 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  My 55 plate 330d touring, E91, has NON comfort access key fobs. Neither unlock/lock doors, but both start the engine. I have replaced the battery in one of them, not easy as they are not meant to be replaced as they should charge while in ignition. It is now emitting a good signal when i checked with my key transmitter. However still nothing!
• Ford Fiesta finesse 52reg - Fiesta starting problem 14 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  The ignition lights etc come on fine and it's trying to start but just won't kick over! I've checked fuses battery etc and all seem ok but I've no idea why it won't start even thought it was fine all day! I'm really stuck and need help! The immobiliser light goes off but when I turn the ignition key and try to start it the fuel gauge and lights seem to flash on and off!

• Fiat Punto - Heater blower doesn't work 4 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  I've tested the resistance between the 2 pins on the motor itself and even that comes up as 0 (which confuses me) and to finally confuse the hell ouf of me the motor span fine when i took it out and used a couple of spade connectors connected directly to a 12v car battery!!   I've read lots of posts saying that it could be the resistance pack but i'm sure it isn't cos there is power coming through the resistor (as stated above), i've also checked all the connectors of the resistance block, the back of the heater control panel and the fan itself and there's no signs of melting or heat damage.

• BMW 5 Series E39 - Won't start when hot 29 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  The big difference is that there was no power to the pump(cause is suspected ECU not sending message to power the pump). He put a 12 volt feed from the battery to the pump and pow she fired up!! He tested this 30 times over a week to make sure, and road tested it. What he eventually did was to run a wire from the fuse box via the ignition switch to the pump.

• Ford Mondeo Mk2 Verona (X) - Continuous power feed for stereo 14 Oct 2013 (Forum)
   Everything works great apart from the memory on the stereo - we know the continuous feed was working prior to fitting the new stereo as he didn't have to put in the key code every time he drove.  I'm wondering if its the fuse as he didn't disconnect the battery before fitting the new stereo... Thanks in advance!  (This info will be useful for me too when I get a new stereo for mine!!)
• peugeot 106 1.1 1997 - Drying after wet test 19 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  (the black bit in the pic http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/liammcl_2006/liammcl_2006001/31082013031.jpg ) The pipe from the carb, going pass the left of the battery to the warm air intake, always seems open... ie there is a constanmt vacuum pulling the flap http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/liammcl_2006/liammcl_2006002/vacuum2.jpg The smoking seems a lot worse when the engine heats up.
• Peugeot 205 - Peugeot 205 1.8D poor cold starting 31 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  My 205 is struggling on cold starts at the moment- they have been getting progressively worse and now the cold has arrived here in Hythe, Kent, it really isn't pleasing. Having replaced and checked plugs a while ago myself and checked obvious things like battery, I started to wonder if it was inlet valve seat regression resulting in poor compression as detailed in other posts on here, so took it to a garage in Ashford in Kent explaining what had happened and what I suspected.
• Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 - Fancy car showrooms rant 28 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  Had to visit a Mercedes showroom this week to get new batteries for remote key fob.  £9!!! Apparently a new key fob is over £200 which seems mouthwateringly expensive too.  The showroom I visited was glitzy in the extreme, in a prime business park location and as a customer I was greeted by not one but two charming receptionists who actually seemed to have nothing to do.
• Vauxhall Vectra 2.6 v6 cdx 2002 - Climate control dept. 16 May 2013 (Forum)
  The garage i bought it from had recently serviced the vehicle and although it may not be connected i have noticed that the radio says SAFE on the screen when u turn it on implying the battery has been disconnected at some point. Should also point out before anyone is kind enough to reply that i am a car novice so please could i respectfully ask that you reply in simpletons language, Many Thanks
• Ford Mondeo 1.8 Edge 125 - Flywheel & Starter 1 May 2013 (Forum)
  Previously there have been a couple of times when the car would not start but as these were random incidents split by months I put it down to the frosty weather and a low battery. I also noticed a few times where I have went to change gear and it seemed like it was sticking but on second attempt worked fine. Not sure if these are be related. Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?
• Ford Grand C-MAX - Poor / non-starting but no fault codes 9 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Starting from warm, the Interior scan message does not appear. But it does appear when the engine is switched off. 2. Did not start at all. Dash and battery ok. Simply no response. Called out AA who said that there were no fault codes. He "reset the system" and the car started. Any advice appreciated. What's interior scan? Is the message supposed to show when starting or only switching off or both?
• Nissan Micra SE K12 2003 - EPS / Power steering assembly pro 29 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I had the misfortune to lose battery power and, following a single journey, the 'two strikes and you're out' philosophy' of Nissan cut in and  the car became immobilised.   Neither I or the AA could bring it back to life so I sent it to the Nissan delaer in Northampton to sort it.

• Chrysler PTCruiser 2003. 2.2CRD - Engine wont start 30 Oct 2011 (Forum)
    By that I mean that all the lights on the dashboard come on as the car does its checks, but then when you try to start the engine - nothing.  No coughing or spluttering or any sounds of life.  It is not a flat battery as been there done that and at least the car tried to start.  There is no signs of life at all from the car.  Have had diagnostic check done by my garage, but this reveals nothing.  I have even called out the AA when the car would not start, but by the time they arrive the engine was cold and it started first time.
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 1.6 stalling whilst driving (Automatic) 5 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  The only way i have found to keep it going, is when it starts to die, put my foot down on the accelerator, and it will come back to life, but this means flooring it everywhere, and i dont think thats the greatest idea! The alternator and battery are both brand new, ford dont know how to fix it, and have tried to diagnose by putting a new boot sensro in, which hasnt changed anything. Any help or advice, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again, Steve
