Why won't my Ford Focus start?

Hi,

I'm having a problem starting my Ford Focus TDCi 1.8. It won't turn over, yet I have all electrical power on my dashboard. Had problem with this some weeks ago and had heater plugs replaced with new ones, which seemed to cure the problem for a week or so but a slow degradation in starting on mornings over the weeks and now nothing. Is this going to be a costly diagnosis?

Thanks in advance.

What's happening with my Kia Sportage?

Hi, I was just sitting in my Kia Sportage having turned off the engine. I tried to start it again but it failed to start. I got out of the car, locked it, reopened it and the car started. Is this part of some feature and how is it activated?

Why is my battery going flat?

Hello there. I bought myself a few months ago a 2005 Opel Astra 1.3 diesel six-gear manual model. Three times it has happened that the battery is flat and needed a help to start the car. Any ideas what can be the possible problem for that and solutions?

How do I repair the mirrors in my Honda FR-V?

Hi, I have purchased a Honda FR-V. Annoyingly, neither electric wing mirror is functioning properly. One won't tilt side to side and the other up and down... Is it possible to just replace the motors? FR-V parts aren't abundant - would another Honda part do the trick? Don't want to relace the whole mirror if possible as very expensive!
