What's wrong with my Renault Laguna?
Hi, I changed the battery in my 2008 1.5 dCi Renault Laguna and now I have no power at all. It won't switch on, doors not locking, windows, or lights nothing works. The only thing that is working is the power steering buzzing and you can turn the wheels. What would have happened?

Should I tell buyers my car's mileage is higher?
Hi there - I have a query regarding selling my car. A year ago I bought a 2002 Ford Focus from my brother, as he couldn't afford to keep two cars on the road. It was in great running order; however the instrument panel was not working, so the speedometer, odometer all the gauges etc wouldn't work. My brother sourced a second hand instrument cluster and had it fitted, and everything worked perfect EXCEPT, the mileage had gone from approx 90,000 to 70,000, as that was the mileage on the second hand cluster. My problem is now I want to sell on the Focus, and I don't know how to approach the mileage issue with potential buyers. Obviously it wasn't my intention to clock the car, it just turned out that way - any suggestions?
