Peugeot 106 - Starting Problem

My girlfriend has a Peugeot 106 2002 1.0l model.

She has had problems with the car starting some days. When she has
been away for a couple for days (like the weekend just gone), when she
tries to start the car, there is nothing. No turn over at all.

The car then has to be jump started to go. In the past when she has
had this, the car has been driven to the garage she uses to service and
MOT the car which is about a five minute drive away, and got the
battery checked over. The battery has been fine and is holding it's
charge. The alternator has been checked out also.

When the problem first started, the relay box was changed over as the
garage thought it might be that.

When driving along sometimes, there is a clicking noise coming from
around the fuse box area. I have had a quick look at it, but cannot
see anything triping at all.

Obviously this is really starting to frustrate my girlfriend, as no one
seems to have a clue as to what the problem may be, and any
investigative work will be expensive. She needs the cars as she has
two young children and has to get to work with it.

Very grateful for any help and advise

sounds like an earth problem, I know its a pain but try redoing the
earth points

 

you mention a relay.....a similar problem i had was sorted by replacing the
wiper relay....it had moisture in it. i tried about a full can of wd40
however the wiper relay is under the fuse box and not visible. an auto
electriacian fond the fault after 3 hours...so a £3 relay cost £103 ..so
dont replace any obvious things yet....and the bad earth as suggested
could take forever.

cheers.
