Question 1

What does a starter motor do?

Accepted Answer

The starter motor is the component responsible for turning over or ‘cranking’ the engine to start the car. Without a functioning starter motor, it’s not possible to start a car by using the ignition alone. The starter motor is a key component of a smooth running vehicle. 
When you press the ignition to start the vehicle a charge is taken from the battery and used to start the engine.

Question 2

How often should you replace your starter motor?

Accepted Answer

Your starter motor is working every time to use the ignition to start the vehicle. This can be even more depending on if you have start-stop technology in your car and the configuration of that system.  This is because coolant constantly cycles through to prevent overheating, which means you need to be careful with the signs of a malfunctioning radiator as it is an essential part of your cooling system. This being said, a damaged or leaking car radiator should be replaced immediately.

Question 3

What happens when we do a starter motor replacement on your car?

Accepted Answer

Our certified mechanics will:
Inspect the starter motor and the parts around it for any potential issues.
Perform a diagnostic test on the starter motor system.
Replace the starter motor (if necessary)
Advise you if any other parts need to be replaced as well.

Question 4

What are the symptoms of a malfunctioning starter motor?

Accepted Answer

Usually, there a few signs you can look for: 
If the 'Check Engine' warning light is on.
When trying to start the car you hear a ‘clicking noise’. 
When trying to start the car you hear a grinding or whirring noise this may signify issues with your starter motor.
When trying to start the car you hear a buzzing noise, which indicates not enough electricity is getting to the starter motor.

Question 5

Peugeot

Accepted Answer

Peugeot is a French automotive manufacturer, initially founded in 1810 as a manufacturer of coffee and bicycles that went on to build internal combustion engine cars from 1890.

Question 6

How popular is Peugeot in the United Kingdom?

Accepted Answer

With possibly its strongest model line-up in years, Peugeot is looking to turn around its current dip in vehicle numbers on the UK roads today. After a steady rise over the decade from 1995 to 2005, from 1.1million to 2.1million, the current tally has slowly dropped to a mere 1.8million—a strong total despite the depreciation in numbers.

Question 7

A mixed range of sensibly priced cars

Accepted Answer

With 21 standard vehicle models available from the full Peugeot line-up, that’s a lot of choice when buying a car.Without doubt, it’s their SUV offerings that are leading the way; the innovation and technology applied to these stronger models will hopefully be developed through the rest of the range, bringing them into line with what the buying public expect from their motoring today.

Question 8

The modern Peugeot: executive styling in the making

Accepted Answer

Catering for city driving, Peugeot has smaller models available that include the 108 city car and the 208 supermini, next up is the 308 hatchback, and then the majority of the models in today’s line-up is their range of SUVs.However, the 508 saloon, featuring fastback type styling, has grown into an attractive low-slung 5-door coupé. More cars like this could enhance Peugeot’s positioning away from the mid-stream and into executive status.

Question 9

The historic and iconic Peugeot 205 GTI

Accepted Answer

It was in the 1980s when the 205 was introduced and seemed responsible for turning around the success of the company. The supermini model was applauded for its style and handling, which led to sales topping 50k units a year.In 1984 the GTI was launched with a 1.6-litre engine; soon followed by a 1.9-litre model. The high-performance hatchback set standards in thrill-seeking for younger drivers everywhere.Could the new range of SUVs be responsible for another similarly styled comeback for the French giant?

Question 10

Peugeot’s reliability and reputation

Accepted Answer

Peugeot ranked 24th place out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018. Not the best by any standard, but certainly not the worst available if you’re looking for a trouble-free motoring marque.
