• Poor starting - Mondeo 1.8 lx 14 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Weird thing however is that as car is trying to start the the windscreen wipers move across the screen (even though not turned on) and the central locking seems to be activating. I've been out tonight and the lights are dimming on cranking the engine, but would a failing battery account for the wipers and central locking activating on their own?? As far as I'm aware the car has the original battery (car now 6 years old). All help appreciated.
• Faulty starter motor on Vauxhall. 27 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  We came to start the car and got this awful buzzing from the fuel relay, we got a new one from a scrap yard and came to start it again it turned over and then cut out (not surprising it had been stood for 4 weeks) any way after charging the battery we then came to start it and it was as though the battery was almost flat, despite having boooster cables on it. Could this be a faulty starter motor? Also what is the best way to get a car going after an engine rebuild will it need an initial \"bosst\" of power to get it going as there is no oil in the tappets
• Terrano a non starter 24 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Yesterday I had to disconnect the battery on my Terrano 2.7TDi (had to remove the battery because I was topping it up and dropped one of the filler caps in an obscure corner). Fired up the engine fairly briefly to make sure all was well.
• Vectra Alarm 19 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  I have checked all the switches and they appear to be okay. Curiously, this only seems to have happened since I took the battery off to charge (See the thread on the Philips CCR600). Then after the battery was put back in, the car started the first time but the next morning it refused to start. Questions: Is the alarm linked to the immobiliser?

  I've always understood that petroleum jelly/vaseline is the best protection for battery terminals, but why not ordinary grease?? I presume there is a technical reason.
