As mentioned in another post, being an electric motor delivers max torque from rest it does make them rather good in the snow, although I wouldnt know as mines tucked up in the drive while theres so much salt on the roads and I'm back in the oil burner for the time being. You're too kind to it - mi...

locating brushes for diy seems like its gonna take weeks i havnt got an evlite so cant do mantainance charge and water so im abit up s**t creek as they say, I have brushes in stock if you need them (and an illustrated guide to changing them). Try not to worry about the fault light. In all likelyhoo...

Hi all, Looking for some advice and suggestions. Berlingo regularly refuses to start at the beginning of the day. The fault is much worse after it has been charged and it can be a couple of days before I can get it to start. If I can get it to start in the morning it’s generally completely fine for...

Mmm, is this the same dash ECU light that comes on with the ECO gauge warning light, mine flashed up this morning for the first time. No. Check the manual, that is the light indicating that the battery is low. The electrical fault light is the symbol of a diode with a lightning bolt (zigzag).

The SY cable that Tim mentioned isn't too bad, although it might be considered overkill. Two points about the cables: I've heard of a rash of them going bad recently. They don't last forver and twice-daily use for 10 years, being plugged/unplugged at both ends and coiled up will take its toll. So I ...

All that is needed is a battery that is healthy - a new battery one one which tests OK on one of those cheap resistor testers will be perfectly fine, even if it's a bit flat. Batteries that have been allowed to sit dead flat a few times are the problem (as they have such high internal resistance th...
