Locking an opel cross land using the fob

When I lock my Opel Crossland by pressing the fob once the car flashes about 2/3 times but if I hit the fob again it give a long series of flashes. Am I doing something wrong by hitting the fob twice?

Will the new Toyota Aygo X have the same 12-volt battery as the Yaris hybrid? It has been reported that the 12-volt battery gets drained if the car isn't driven regularly.

Hi,

I have a 2009 Jaguar XF; it keeps coming up on the dash "DSC" and going into limp-home mode; is there a quick fix to this, or is all lost?

I have a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta and the key is very temperamental. Sometimes the boot opens, but generally not. I can’t find a manual way of opening it.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I have a new Renault Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 Iconic. Every time I turn on the speed alert, it promptly turns itself off again.

Please help

Hi,

In advice on how to jump start a car, you are usually advised to attach negative cable to bare metal, away from battery, of flat car. This advice is not given for the donor car. This advice is stated to be because "hydrogen gas can build up above the battery itself, which could be explosive." But if hydrogen can build up above the battery, why are you only advised to attach to bare metal on the "flat" car? Why couldn't hydrogen gas build up above the "donor" car battery? In any event, surely once you open the bonnet, the gas, if any, would dissipate fairly rapidly?

Thanks Philip

I have a 2012 Nissan Micra and I would like to change the speedometer from mph to km/h; is this possible?

Hi, I recently got a new battery for my 141 D Honda Civic, but the auto stop function is not working correctly. I asked the installer and he said it is installed correctly and auto stop won't always work. Please clarify.

Kind regards, Kieran O'Brien.

How to turn off overspeed alarm buzz in my 2015 Renault Captur? It starts beeping after 120km/h and the sound continues every 30 seconds, the car beeping for 10 seconds.

The stop-start system on my 2019 1.0-litre petrol Polo is enabled with a stone cold engine: if I drive 100 yards after a overnight stop the stop-start is enabled. This can't be logical as the diesels all have to reach temperature before enabling it. Spoke to Volkswagen, but can't get a straight answer. I have also driven other petrol Polos and they are exactly the same.
