battery

Hi guys, I have been reading reviews on here about the installation of a HID kit. I hope o fir mine next week (weather permitting). One questions though, everyone seems to be talking about having to wire the kit back to the battery. My kit (HIDS 4 U pro Plus) says nothing at all about...

Looking for some help with my MK1 Tolly. The car is draining current at 0.50A, will this be enough to drain the batt over a couple of days ?

I'd just set off on my way from work, had the increasingly more often coolant 3 beeps come on, and ignored. Then, on joining the A40 and give it medium acceleration straight after the battery light started to flash on for about 10 seconds and then stopped. I gave it a few more beans about 1...

I seem to be having no luck with this car. I fixed the door seals and am getting the car dried out, but driving today another problem has cropped up... I was driving along the road and the battery light started to flash. I had the stereo, and the headlights on and the air con compressor...

I plan to relocate my battery to the boot over the winter, just wondering if anyone has done it in a Leon and where you mounted it, parts used, etc.? I've read a few threads about it on various makes of cars, doesn't look difficult but anymore info is always good.

Hi, I got a very weird problem with my Seat Ibiza, TDI 1.9 (register in 2000). For some unknown reason, the radio will automatically switch on and therefore drain my battery (the engine is off, and key is plug out, the car is locked from outside). It happened a few days ago. I have no any...

Every thing appears to be working as normal but over the last two days both radiator fans are continually running even when the ignition is switched off. I...

Just a quick question... I've just jump started my car as the battery was almost completly dead. If i leave the car running at idle will the alternator charge the battery to it's full power or do i have to drive the car or raise and hold the revs up? Also, if leave it at idle, how long do you...
