Hi guys, i think i may have a problem with my battery, its been on the car since new (54 plate). problem is sometimes when i turn the ignition the car locks on its own, the dials twizle around abit and the date and time re set and the car doesnt start....
Is this common when your battery is on the way out OR:
car was nicked earlier in the year, car key theft. they found my car not much damage but the repair people had to change locks ignition etc. they didnt use a peugeot dealer. could this be the problem???
Thanks for the help guys
Rob.
