Peugeot 106 not starting

The clock thing points to a bad connection or a very bad battery.

Either the battery, or check the main earth leads. I had one recently where the main earth from the engine to the body had corroded, and was only attached by a few strands of wire.

My 2000 Punto did exactly as you describe. I kept on starting it with crossed fingers. One morning about 4 days later he wouldn't start at all :( A new battery fitted, not had the same clock reset trick/not starting happen since :)

Right i'll change the battery this weekend then. It only happends on cold morning though. I presume this sounds like battery trouble?

Thanks,

Ben

battery capacity drops very sharply with low temperature, so yes, battery problems usually surface in cold weather.

Yep, my Punto did only do it when it was cold. Any other time it started just fine. A new battery should sort you out :)

Nicola

I've put a new battery on it now, all is fine!

Thanks very much for all the replies.
