    Battery output

    Could it be the alternator regulator thingy. Excuse my lack of knowledge but isn't there some sort of sensor that sits with the alternator that can be replaced individually?

    Battery output

    I started the car in test mode and toggled to the battery power reading. It was at 14 volts. I went for a drive and it stayed at 14 volts for most of the journey but then suddenly jumped to 17 volts every so often. When it did this then the ABS and tractions lights came on and the dials all...

    Idling lumpy

    My Puma is driving fine but when it is idling the rev counter is all over the place and it keeps stalling. I've run a diagnostic and it says DTC 0115 9318 which I've looked up and this indicates ECT sensor circuit failure. Do my symptoms match this error or are they unrelated? If it is a...

    Stalling
