What? you mean you don't like that Ham with green bits on it? or the "glazed" pastry items? or the curly sosidges?

When I go to Spain the meat counter looks alien to me :? what sort of stuff do Croatians eat then?

I'm not sure you should eat the ham with green bits in it, sounds like it's gone off. Curly sausages? I've seen them but not for sale, I have a feeling they're not a domestic product, so I've never tried them. Today we had češnjovke (that's garlic sausages to you, made with real meat - if you can imagine that). Image
The sliced ham here is out of this world, shame I'm not allowed to eat it :( Fortunatly winter time is sarma time, I could eat them 7 days a week, no problem 8)

You can look up the price on http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com (free registration required, set language to English BEFORE you login!) but iirc it's about £200

Best bet phoning round the breakers yards. You'll need to match D8/D9 and (i think) climate control/non-climate control
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

This may seem pretty stupid, but it isn't, honest.
Do you have an original battery fitted, or a replacement from kwikfit or their competitors?
If it's a replacement you may have the same problem I had a few years ago. I found out when the recovery bloke came out to give me a jump-start one Christmas.
Kwikfit (and their competitors) do not buy in batteries with round post terminals (at least they didn't).
Instead they buy in square post terminal batteries, then "slip on" a round post over the top.
Over time you get corrosion build up between the square internal and round external post. The corrosion is a poor conductor so it will stop enough juice getting through.
To find out, give your battery terminal posts a very good clean up. I find a vigorous application of wire brush followed by plenty of hot water does the job. Then do a thorough visual inspection. If you can get a screw driver tip under the post, it is a slip on post. Lever it off, there'll be lots of gunk. Clean that off the contact area, slip it back on and give it a sharp tap. All should be well for another 6 months, giving you time to source a reasonably priced replacement battery :mrgreen:

Otherwise it's down to one of three things.
  • 1.Your battery has given up.
    2.Your charging system has a glitch elsewhere.
    3.You've got an electrical leak to earth (also known as a short circuit, in your case a slow one).
