Hi, I'm new to this forum but I hope someone can help. My girlfriend has a 1.1 04 plate 'fever' and I'm in charge of maintanance! Its having some trouble starting, it cranks over for rather longer than it should, and it has reset all the time clocks and silly things back to 0 a few times once started? I'm not that good at explaining, but I'm better at answering! Any help is appreciated, cheers guys!

hi, this is my first time on a forum. just bought a 1400 206,2000 model when we first got the car it would run fine but sometimes cut out, went to start it this morning it wont tick over, starts ok and if you keep the revvs up it runs, but as soon as you take your foot off of the accelerator it cuts out. anybody got an idea?
thanks

Check the battery with a voltmeter or go to a garage to have it checked before shelling out on a new one. There is a known issue with the earth cables running from the battery to the body and the gearbox. Check these as they can sometimes give the same symptoms as the battery going flat.
 Also congratulations on putting all the details of the car in your first post. There are some members on here that still don't realise that there are so many variants of the 206.
