• 306 HDi - squeaky wheel bearing? 8 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  With the hot weather and the windows down (air con not working at the moment!) I've noticed a squeaking from what I think is a wheel, perhaps a front one on my '99, 87k 306 HDi. This appears to stop after a certain speed (perhaps 40mph?) and also lessens when the car has been running for a while
• Peugeot 306 2.0D 28 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I hope this is the right place to ask this... I'm looking for a used car under £7k to take me, the missus, bikes and junk up and down motorways at the weekend. It needs to be cheap to run, comfy on motorways, have ABS, Air Con and 5 doors. I've seen quite a few 306 2.0 Meridian's with about 35k

• Merc C Class spec 25 May 2003 (Forum)
  Recently been looking around at used Merc C Class. Spotted a nice example - 99V C180 Elegance 5 spd tip auto with low miles. Imagine my surprise when making further enquiries to discover it had no air con. I'm amazed they were turning these cars out at 25k new in 1999 without a/c. Worse still
• Renault Grand Scenic - Dangerous fault 2 days after signing waiver 10 Dec 2018 (Forum)
  Hopefully this is the right place for advice. I bought a Grand Scenic on Wednesday 28th November and paid using my credit card. On the test drive the air con made a whistling noise and there was some vibration when I hit about 75 mph. Apart from these issues the car seemed to be ok for its age
• too darn hot 22 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  when doing a steady 50, than when working the engine harder whilst "making progress" along a motorway. result: I'm getting a bit peeved at having the sunroof open to keep the car cool when on the motorway! in case someone suggests using the air-con to lower the temperature, that is kinda pointless
• Honda Jazz - Used car - cigarette smoke through vents 5 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  I've recently bought a used car that was owned by a smoker. The interior valet seems to have got rid of most of the smell. However, when running the heating there is a lot of cigarette smell coming through.  This is without running the air con. Is there anything I can do to get rid

  I have a 2000 model Citreon Xantia 2.0HDI (90bhp with air con) and the red stop light flashes intermittenly with the red light on the temp gauge,  I have changed the two fan motors in front of the rad twice and the lights stopped for a short while but now back again, I also noticed recently
• Renault Kangoo II combi (2004 - 2008) - 04 1.5d coolant change 26 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I want to change the coolant on our 1.5dci with air con. Usually this job is straightforward - remove bottom hose , empty , fill and bleed but I can't find an easy way to get at the bottom hose to let the coolant out. Any one had experience of this vehicle? Also can someone confirm the volume

• Overpriced? 11 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Daihatsu Charade 1.3 LXi 99 on V reg, 70k. Its the base model so no elec windows etc but it does have air con which was optional, so its a strange spec anyway. Its at a Daihatsu dealer up for £1990 Sounds like really strong money to me? Problem is, it doesnt appear in any price guides that I can
• Ford Fiesta Heater control circuit board 27 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Have a very hot (cabin) ford fiesta. The hot and cold switch now only works on hot all the time. When I took the switch apart to see the problem I was presented with a circuit board (the car is 02 with air con). If I remove the circuit board from the car it runs cold in the cabin. Having replaced
• Buying Skoda Octavia - anything to look 4 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Finally got a pay-out from my insurers, and have found a nice 99 T-plate 1.6 GLXi, with Alloys & Air-Con, for £2.1K, which seems good for a 53K car. Engine same as my Beetle 1.6, the 100bhp one, so I know what to look for there - anything else go wrong on these as a whole I should look

• How does one fix a snapped off bolt 9 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Further to my previous thread http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?f=4&t=14891 The clowns who fitted my engine did not put the air con unit back on properly and consequently one of the bolts has snapped off leaving the whole full of half a bolt. I have been advised the engine
• Instant economy! 27 May 2003 (Forum)

• Best turbo diesel car for under £5k? 8 May 2003 (Forum)
  With a budget of £5000, I want (obviously) an economical car, but at the same time a fun car - decent acceleration and a nice chassis. Comfort and safety are important too, so I want dual airbags, air con and abs. In fact, any feature beginning with A would be good! Oh and I don't want a 'birds
