• 24v panels, 24v motor AND 12v battery - 24v panels, 24v motor AND 12v battery 3 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  It will charge from a 12v bank that delivers 10 amps, and it will charge directly from 24v panels. The boat also has a 12v sump pump and running lights, that run off a 12v utility battery. I have 2 18v panels that put out about 3 amps each, wired in series. Is it possible to charge the 12v utility battery off the 24v system while the 24v system is charging the motor's internal battery at 12 v?
• Peugeot 508 - Peugeot 508 noise 20 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  Hi folks.There is a right front noise in my Pug 508 1.6 HDI manual 5 speeds when I run over road irregularities. I was in two service centers 5 times. They checked the front suspension every time and there was no fault. No noise. Later I found out that the noise which is heard somewhere under the dashboard/floor or engine compartment in the right side can also be heard if I run with the left front wheel or the rear wheels through road bumps, and it is heard in the same place (front right).

• Peugeot 205 - Peugeot 205 1.4 engine dies after warming up 30 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  There maybe someone out there who might have experienced similar issues than i am. Got an 89 205 with 1.4 engine. The problem is that it used to run really well, but after replacing one alternator brush problem started. Not right after but few time went past and then after warming up the car dies and loses spark. When it's still cold, runs smoothly, but as soon as the temperature rises to certain level (warming it up like 10 minutes), engine cuts off and wont start again.

• Mazda6 2.0 petrol - Pinking when hot 27 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Since about 100k I have noticed quite a lot of pinking, worst when hot and in hot weather. The car has been used mainly for long runs. It also feels a little lethargic and definitely feels hesitant when cold. This makes me think it is running lean. Economy is good, 38mpg average. I have tried the following 1. New MAF sensor.
