Hi there,
I desperately need some help. I have a Peugeot 306 Meridian 1.4, S Reg and have been having huge problems that even my local garage can't fathom.
Basically when I go to start the car, turning the key from the off position to the accessory all lights, windows and other electrics work fine but when I try to switch the engine on nothing happens. The car will not start, absolutely no power at all, no electrics, nothing.
Sometimes the car will not start (no power) then suddenly for no reason it's fine and switches on.
Other times when I start the car everything switches on perfectly and the engine starts first time.
These occurrences are completely random and do not appear so be a result of certain types of weather or anything else I can think of.
The mechanic installed a new battery, told me that he checked the wiring and that there was some slight corrosion, carried out numerous auto diagnosis test which all came back fine.
There is also a problem with the alarm which when set will go off for no apparent reason, don't know if these two could maybe be connected.
As you can see I know nothing about cars and would really appreciate any feedback or advice anyone might have.
Thanking you in advance.
Matt
