  Well against the advice of friends and relatives I went out and bought one today, a lovely example in trophy blue on a 52 reg with FSH including cambelts changed, working air-con and no mayo in the oil cap! A nice half leather and suede interior and large spoiler to boot. Even after reading CBC
• Fiesta Zetec water in passenger footwell 15 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Guys - Since the hot weather has arrived, my wifes Fiesta Zetec has started leaving a puddle in the passenger footwell. The puddle doesn't smell of coolant etc so I assume its clean water. Its only really been evident since she has been using the air con lots so im guessing its a blockage

  Hi hope someone can help me with this as its soooo cold...... I have a P reg Peugeot 406 1.8 LX petrol, and the heater blower used to work intermittingly.

• Rover 400 (1995 - 1999) - 1999 1.4 ECU Advice 27 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  mentioned if this did not resolve it, I should constantly keep the blower on at setting 1, and constantly have the air con switched on. I told him that the blower didn't work on settings 1 & 2 anyway, and he said that's even better as I won't have to suffer hot or cold air but leaving at setting 1

  under warranty.  2 months after that the glow plugs failed - warranty. Today, at ironically the latest 2 month (ish) instalment, it's been back to the dealer to have the air con looked at as was not pressurising and not blowing cold. Topped up with gas and told to 'see how it goes' as it may
• All - Cost of cars rising 14 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  I have started considering a new car, but as I prefer to have non metallic paint, I find my colour choice is limited  in some cases to WHITE. This is yet another con of manufacturers, getting an extra £400-700 out of the poor motorist, also I do not want air con, yet in many

  Accord (2000) SE Executive, with the 2.0 engine and automatic gearbox + plus all the various trimmings. No problem about going down on the comfort level provided I still have air-con. :-) Any advice? Oh, and one other thing - are all the 4 year old Peugeot 307s on eBay being advertised for about £4k
• Ford KA, KA2, KA3 (1996 - 2008) - 98 1.3 Heater issue 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  or as you would expect. Its just not really getting that hot even when you put it at full turn. Its just an ambient heat really. There is evidence of damage to the consol area, ie cracked plastic buttons for rear window and air con etc (which all still work). Does anyone have any idea if it is the dials

  to a 1.2 SXi which are plentiful but without air con and a couple of 1.4's with aircon. Both choices are very low mileage. My wife averages about 200 miles per week mostly on a fast dual carriageway. My last experience of Vauxhall was a Viva HB so any upto date opinions re Corsa would be more

  Immaculate- leather etc. Hit a bell bollard, insurance write off. We intend to fix it. Front/slam panel badly crushed at bottom. Is this hard or expensive replace? Any tips, or a guess at the price? Bumper, rad, air-con condense also need replacement, but they seem straightforward. I have found
• Toyota Corolla - Low Idle Speed 4 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  and when the air-con is switched on. I took it back to the dealership and they plugged it into the diagnostics computer and they said everything is O.K. and that Corollas tend to run with a low idle. Seemed strange to mention this afterwards or is that me being cynical. I'm very happy with the Corolla

  Just had the engine blow up (con rod through cylinder block) on this car, wondered if anyone any idea what could have caused it. It was lumpy and smoky at start, been like this for a month - thought it was glo plugs and was just about to change them - is this the cause. Also thermostat always cool
