Chrysler PT Cruiser 2004 - key will not turn all way in ignition to start eng 18 Jun 2018 (Forum)
I did go back to the car with the spare, which opened the doors but dead as a doornail for starting the engine!! Also tried new battery in the key fob - didnt make any difference. Thought maybe flat battery to the engine. Did get home. Very kind man who knew a bit about cars, took pity to help me out. He did something with a screwdriver under the bonnet at the front (towards the bottom) and started the engine. -

BMW 3 Series Coupe - 2007 320d E92 - engine shaking/ loss of power 6 Mar 2017 (Forum)
I've got a e92 320d M Sport Auto with only 89k on the clock. I've only had the car for a couple of months now and a few weeks ago the battery decided to die only a few hours of being parked up, so it was jump started with another car and since then the car sounded like a tractor. I took it to a BMW specialist who adviced me not to drive it and bring it to him the next day to have it checked out. -

Engine failure warnings, airbag check warnings, max temp warnings, power steering failures... I changed the battery as it was struggling to start with all this going on. This made no difference and even with a brand new battery it sometimes doesnt start. If the car stalls due to the gearbox now, she has to wait ten minutes for it to suddenyl decide it will turn over. -

SEAT Leon - Please HELP!! Leon MK1 TDI (109 bhp) not starting 10 Feb 2012 (Forum)
Since then its been parked and I had a mobile mechanic come to have a look at it a few days ago. He thought everything was ok mechanically. Battery had died so he tried to jump start but the engine tried to turn over very sluggishly and could not start. He thought that the starter wasn't getting enough power to fully turn over and start the engine so I need to show it to an electrician.
