  • Where to buy R134a in small amounts? 28 Jan 2023 (Forum)
    I have a very small leak in my air con system. It seems to need refilling every 12 months or so. I have taken it to air con specialists twice now but they can't track down the leak. Rather than keep paying them to refill it periodically, I would like to buy some R134a in smaller quantities

  • Ford CMax 1.8 petrol - Disconnecting the alternator 13 Sep 2010 (Forum)
    I'm getting a whining noise when the engine is first starting in the morning which disappears a soon as the engine has warmed up a little. Sounds like the water pump bearing, but the noise is coming from more in the direction of the air con pump. Switching  the air con on and off doesn't

  • Help! Pug 306 Radiator swap nightmare 27 Aug 2001 (Forum)
    The radiator on my 306 (1996, new shape DTurbo, with air con) needs replacing - the only problem is it looks like the radiator is married to the airconditioning condenser. Combine this with virtually zero clearance to disconnect the bottom hoses (located on drivers side) it looks like an absolute

  • Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 06 1.6 Air conditioning appears to have packed up 3 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    The air-con on the wife's Focus appears to have packed up. The light on the switch says it's on but it plainly isn't. She keeps it permanently on low all year (to avoid seals drying out) but has only noticed it not working during the recent warm weather. I've checked the fuse box and that seems ok
