• Seat Leon ST - Seat Leon satnav 23 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Got a Seat Leon ST for work, 67 plate, and to my annoyance the built in satnav does not have up to date maps. It is missing the new sections of M8 leading into Glasgow and the A725 Raith Underpass which both opened in February 2017. Does anyone else here have a Seat and do your maps seem out of date also? I've searched ponline and I seem to have the latest maps available which is very disappointing.

• ford fiesta 1.25 zetec (2000) - Ford Fiesta engine misfire 5 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  I have a ford fiesta 1.25 zetec that has suddenly developed a misfire on number 3 cylinder. I have checked the plugs and all ok, I have replaced the leads and coil pack but has made no difference at all. When I looked at the plugs they were all the correct biscuity colour apart from number 3 which was black, sooty and dry. Any advice on what could be wrong will be greatly appreciated.

• Chrysler Grand Voyager 2000 3.3 Auto - Bad misfire 18 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  Codes read P0201 and P0206  injector circuit open cylinder 1 and then the same for cylinder 6. Garage fitted new injectors and while the car was stripped down new plugs, leads and coil pack.

• Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - 05 1.2 Flat battery 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I know Ive been told to replace it but is there something else which causes a flat battery as opposed to the obvious battery replacement?. I have been having to use jump leads to start it recently, even after a good run the car wont start the following day. ould there be something which is like trickle draining it, or is it the battery which needs replacing. Kind regards Denn
