Hi to every 1..
what a wicked website, must say 1 off the best iv come accross.
very very helpfull.

iv scrambled through this site & found sooooo many usefull tips & info.

Iv got a pug 206cc, which i have owned for only a very short while ( 1 month ) & all ready had roof problems :(
Its (2004) automatic, 39,000 mls.

Recently the cars being playing up, 2 weeks ago, i stopped after a short drive, got back to the car after 5 mins,
car woudnt start, key turns but i get a "click" noise. after a few attempts it started.

drove for the past 2 weeks, every thing seemed to work perfectly fine.
Then today it woudnt start. drove for a bit.. stopped.. & woudnt start "clicking"
noise came back, stated ECONOMY MODE ACTIVE, locked-unlocked.. left it for a few minutes, then it started again.

now, it does it all the time, its really frustrating. it usually starts after i leave it for 10 mins, with the car un-locked.

please,please,please some one help me.
would be really appreciated.

kind regards
jay

Sounds battery related, or starter motor.
I'd check all the electrical connections to from the battery and starter motor including earth leads. If they're OK and you've had the battery checked then probably the starter motor is on the way out. Others have had similar symptoms, search the forum and you'll see.
