electrics

Hi, I have a 2000 reg Peugeot 206 1.4 and in the last few months whenever I put my indicators on they flash as hazards and sometimes they even like to come on by themselves. I am not an expert in cars but a garage recently told me that I needed a replacement electrical box (not sure of the technical term) and that it would cost around €550 for parts and labour. Not sure if that is necessary as I have read that it could just be the indicator stalk, but I am unsure. I don't really want to pay that much for a repair as my car isnt even worth that much money anymore. Any help or suggestions as to what this problem could be or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Carisma and the radio and clock are not working. How do I fix it?

Thanks

Why is the engine management light flashing on my 2003 Renault Laguna? The car is also vibrating when ticking over. It is a 1.6 petrol.

My electric window goes down ok but is sluggish going up. I have sprayed runners with silicone to no avail, sometimes no movement at all. I suspect dodgy motor, as I tried a switch from breakers, but same problem. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks

Hi, the control unit / window motor in my 2002 Skoda Octavia 1.6 petrol seems to be dead. It's affecting the central locking and mirror adjustment etc. It's a minefield getting a seconhand replacement unit as it has to come from an identical car: ie has to have rear electric windows, no sunroof, electric mirrors etc. Am I better off just biting the bulletand stumping up for a new part from Skoda?

Thanks, Alan

Hi, I have a 2008 Suzuki SX4 1.6 DDiS. It would not start recently so I towed it to the garage. Eventually I have been told that the ECU is dead and needs a new one, which must be done in a Suzuki garage. I am waiting on a final price but have been told they are expensive. Is it worth trying to source a second hand or reconditioned one if they exist?

My Toyota Auris keeps blowing bulbs. What would be wrong?

Hi. I drove my car, a 1999 Opel Zafira without a fanbelt for about 10km after which I replaced the fanbelt. The battrey that was discharged quickly charged itself. Some days later the battery discharged and even after I recharged it it still discharged again. So I replaced the battery after confirming that the alternator was ok and still am having the same problem. What can I do? Is there a possibilty that the alternator is not providing enough charge to charge the battrey? How can i test the charging terminals of the car with a multimeter to know if it is in order? Thanks

I have a Fiat Stilo air bag problem; the warning beep comes on and it's displayed in the dash. It says 'airbag failer, stop' and it can also display 'engine failer, airbag, stop'. It's a 2003 model and has been like this for a while. I'm afraid in case the airbag will deploy. What should I do?

Hi, I changed the battery in my 2008 1.5 dCi Renault Laguna and now I have no power at all. It won't switch on, doors not locking, windows, or lights nothing works. The only thing that is working is the power steering buzzing and you can turn the wheels. What would have happened?
