battery

Guys, I've been struggling with an intermittent misfire on the 172 Ph1 for a few weeks. I've swapped the plugs, HT leads and coil pack for brand-new Renault items without success. The only thing left to change is the pre-cat Lambda but I'm doubtful this is the cause, unless someone thinks...

This is probably today's most retarded question, but before I send off my RS tuner I sold, I just want to make sure! If I disconnect the battery it resets the ECU right? So does it reset the RS Tuner upload I've done!? I'm sure it can't but just want to be sure I haven't flushed my £70 remap...

Anyone got any thoughts on these? Gonna buy one tomorrow I think but just wondering if anyone thinks there could be anything ill advised about using one? Can't see any issues myself...

Just got my 90 deg bend and all the bits to put a 'ktec style' induction kit on to see what the crack is and I can't get the bleedin filter in behind the headlight. Is my battery too big or am I being a r****d? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7083/7354717638_2725cf051a_z.jpg

Hi All My battery and stop lights are flickering when idling- it just started today. I guess my aux belt and/or alternator are dodgy. I checked my servicing... and I am over my aux belt servicing scheduled time by about 10,000 miles. Oops. (I know, how stupid of me) Clearly I will get it booked...

my 200 is only 14 months old but im having to jump it everytime, even after a 3 hour running down the motorway. i wouldnt have expected it to last only 14 months?! anyway, i need to go to halforfd today and sort this out as i cant be jumping it over the next 4 days and then im at download...

hello guys, right first off i was supposed to drop my car off to danny @519 today for cams remap and other bits which ive been looking forward to for god knows how long. went to start the car this morning and it didnt start, got it jump started and checked the voltage, it was putting out 13.6v...

I want to make space for a new induction kit without need to move the battery into the boot, just setting both race battery and ecu nice and flat over the gearbox, pretty much like this one.... I don't drive it much, roughly once a week -sometimes it sits there for a couple of weeks- the odd...

Looking for a guide to what bits i need for a battery isolator system in my car, would like to have it all FIA approved. Also where abouts are you mounting yours? scuttle looks like the wiper will be too close?

im sure there is a guide/method on here but i searched and no luck (N). anyone tell me how to please?

I think its the Alternator for obvious reasons, was travelling from Portsmouth to Middlesbrough this afternoon, everything was fine. About one hour into the 6 1/2 journey every time I braked, my stereo would flicker between night mode and day mode. An hour later I entered a traffic jam and the...

After starting my car the battery and stop light flash really quickly and then after a bit stay on constant. Looks like an intermittent connection or something. Does anyone have any ideas where to start looking or if it is something else causing the problem. Thanks :)

My car's having problems stating and i'm now pretty sure it's the battery earth, wouldn't start this morning and got the clicking noise (starter motor?) and dash lights flashing. When it finally fired up the dash clock was reset to 0:00, the battery is fully charged because I checked it the...

As above only really happens when everything is on ie heater,lights,stereo,car has had a new battery recently,I have the cup alternator set up on my 182 and I am thinking it must be down to the alternator which I think is a pattern part. Do all cup alternators have ring terminals or the same...

Right, I'm probably the first person to moan about NOT having them but here it goes. Bought the 172 on Monday, and realised tonight that the above lights don't come on when you flick the key on. So I did the trip button dashboard trick, low and behold the lights don't come on. Now, was the...

I removed my battery a couple of weeks ago when changing my gearbox oil for ease of access! When I removed the retaining clamp the bolt that holds it in place sheared off and is now stuck so I can't replace the clamp. My MOT is due next month and as they check for security of the battery I need...

Has anyone had the battery meter and percentage showing wrongly on iPhone 4? My phone went flat last night twice when showing 43%. Two minutes charging and up to 44% then cuts out again at 43%. Today it is fully charged and showing 100% even after 5 hours use!!! Something not right. Anyone know...

Hi Everyone , This May Seem Stupid ' But I'm Looking At Buying A Battery For My Ph2 172 - Should I Go For A Genuine One From A Dealer £55 - £60 Or I've Seen Bosch Etc For Slightly Cheaper On E'Bay . . . . Warranty On Them Are Nearly The Same 3-4 Yr's - Any Idea's . . . . ?

Quick question, on the iPhone in the usage option it tells you how much stand by time and usage time since last full charge. I can't find this on my iPad 2. Am I being blind or is it not there?

Hi guy's, i've had an Odessey 680 race battery and suitable mount in the garage for ages (along with wiring, fuses, cut out switch etc etc) that i've never got round to fitting. I looked the other day at options of where to fit the new battery and am struggling to find the most suitable place...

Hi Everyone, Just after a bit of help please, only just bought the car and now its parked up at home dead. Under warranty though at least. Driving home last night car started going a bit nuts, ABS + Traction light started flashing, stop light and battery light flickering and occasionally the...

Anyone know the cheapest place to get one of these bad boys? Cheers

Ive seen chrome battery covers on project cars,so anyone know if anyone supplies these?

Ran my battery flat left the ignition on, so i jump started it but now the fob does not work it wasnt very good before this happened it would only open the locks from a ft away from the car ? Do you think this would be the fob battery is dead ?

Chaps - I'm wondering if someone can explain the whole volts, amps, draw on the battery, etc to me. I'm stumped when it comes to electrics other than changing a bulb or a fuse. I've got an issue on the Evo where if its not used for a few days, the car will simply not spin over. A new battery...

Hi guy, What is the best solution of trying to achieve a "clean shutdown" of the virtual machine then the host should they start to run on battery or should the battery levels down below 10%? I have 3 hosts running in as a datacentre with 23 virtual machine with a mixture of Windows Server...
