  Renault Trafic Rimini - 1996 Renault Trafic Camper Buying Advice 17 Apr 2021 (Forum)
  - Is it likely that any of the appliances don't work (fridge, water tank, heating, stove, grill etc) - If I go back to view again, how do I test these? Where does the leisure battery fit and what does it power? They primarily sell caravans so I'm sure they will have a spare gas bottle somewhere (How do I attach it?) and I can bring a spare car battery and hook it up to where the leisure battery goes.
• Citroen C5 - 2010 Citroen c5 2.0 163 HDI - aux belt 21 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  When I turned the power steering the fan slowed down so assumed the battery was doing all the work. Parked the car up, turned off the engine (everything working as you’d expect). Popped the bonnet to connect to the battery charger and noticed the aux belt had snapped.
• Rover 25 1.4 (2003) - Alarm, engine immobiliser or some other problem 6 May 2015 (Forum)
  When I first made an attempt to get it started after a few months out of action it had a flat battery after first thinking it was the engine immobiliser (and paying for the eka code and using the key turn sequence). Once that was charged, I got everything up and running, new battery in key fob and alarm reactivated ok.
• Toyota Prius Gen2 (2006) - Prius Gen2 - Water in boot floor 6 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  Hi All, I had a problem with my Gen2 2006 Prius, water getting into the spare tyre well, and more alarmingly, into the Aux battery (12v) well - about halfway up in both instances. I wanted to post this in case this could help anyone else in a similar situation - it’s well worth taking the time to check the spare wheel well for water.

• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 06 1.6 radio fault 25 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  When I went out to check nothing was left switched on and locked the car again they were still lit. The next day the car would not start as the battery was dead (it was 3+ years old and the weather was very cold so this probably did not help). Afetr fitting a new battery all was well. Radio worked and clock/temp display went off when car was locked.
• Citroen Xsara - Remote Central Locking Problem (Memory Loss?) 14 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  This is my first car which i brought in July 2010. (51 Reg 1.6 VTR Coupe) When purchased i was aware that i could not operate the central locking remotley due the the battery in the keyfob being flat. The central locking works manualy with no problems, but i wanted to get it to work remotely. I brought a new battery for the key fob and still the central locking did not work.

• Citroen c3 picasso vti 1.4 petrol 2010 - Cylinder head removal 16 Sep 2024 (Forum)
  It appears I have a burnt exhaust valve, starting to wonder if I should sc*** the car and recover the £200 I paid for it! Needs about £ 600 spares, battery, brakes, possibly cat. Inlet camshaft extremely pitted. And chasing a parasitic battery drain. Advice on any of the above welcome. Thanks. Mike    
• Renault traffic business - Stop start permanent fault 3 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  Read codes with autel DF083 STOP START MODULE CIRCUIT INCORRECT SIGNAL Snap-on diag shows DF0043 stop start configuration error. Battery tested to be in good health and BMS on negative terminal shows around 1.6 volts varying. I switched the battery and the BMS terminal with one of a different van and made no difference to the fault, still wouldn't clear.
• Vauxhall Combo 2009 - Trouble with key barrel 9 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  I went to start van this morning and it wouldn't start when I turn the key. I can turn the key full way, but it doesn't generate an ignition spark at all, just flat. The battery isn't dead and the steering wheel isn't locked. When I took the key out, the dashboard lights wouldn't turn off. This made me wonder if the power was still running, and sure enough, windscreen wipers still on, so only way I can get the power to go out is by disconnecting the battery.
