• Ford Focus Cambelt Change - Fair Price 17 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  whichever is sooner. (Having had a failed cambelt on a previous car before the recommended replacement mileage, I am not prepared to take any chances) Also, from what I can make out in the Service Guide, the Auxilliary Drive Belt should be changed (PAS pump/Air Con). Am I correct in thinking there are two
• Hypothetical questions (1 and 2) 11 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  enjoyed driving it and the smallness and nippyness have come into their own at times, when the Subaru would have been simply too big. I don't want to keep the Fiesta, because it is too low and there are other things I dislike, but assuming that all modern small cars can be had with air con, CD, heated
• Mercedes W124 advice welcome 18 May 2005 (Forum)
  understand it. It has had one owner, 78k warranted miles, auto/air con/leather and in all round good clean and sound condition. Just a hint of a fuel leak form the top of the fuel filter, for which it is going in to my local, trusted garage at the end of the week. After a weekend of polishing and cleaning
• Focus - squeaky - Alternator? 20 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Hello all, resident car hypochondriac here. I've only really noticed now in the cold mornings but when I start the car, there's a constant squeak. Once it's warmed up, quiet as a mouse - runs sweet as a nut. I've heard the words alternator and air-con something or other mentioned - particular
• Drive the Deal offers 23 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  of a gap between the T3 and T-Spirit - I'd like either air-con or a sunroof, but you have to go to T-Spirit trim with quite a price premium for this, and DtD don't offer any options other than metallic paint.

• Xantia - strange noise 13 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  My 18000 mile, 1 yr old Xantia Hdi 110 sometimes makes a strange gruff 'buzzing' noise once its run a few miles (10 plus). The noise is not engine speed related - and is not either of the cooling/air con fans. (Yes I've checked the fans physically - I know the aircon comes on on 'demist' even

  I've just has the "pleasure" of a new Renault Laguna to drive approx 1000 miles over the past 3 days. Trouble is, Fiona in purchasing hired me a 1.6 16V. In a car of that size and with the air con and all the toys - it drove like an absolute dog and drank fuel like G.Lacey on the Natch last
• Mondeo Air Conditioning 25 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  The air con on my 2000 W reg Mark 2 Mondeo Zetec 2000cc had stopped working so recently, when it was in for a service, I asked them to have a look at it. They regassed it and put some sort of dye in the gas, which they said would show up if there were any leaks. When I went to collect the car
• Most - Let the sun shine on in! 20 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  … ideally factory built but if not then aftermarket will be the solution.  Yes, I know that on days when the outside temperature is in the 80F’s (27C upwards) air conditioning is good, but recent weather has been a perfect example of  when air con really is not needed, around 70F / 21C

  Hi, What's the best course of action....... A while ago my car had water leak into the wiring loom. Ford replaced this and all was well other than a brake light which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. However in the recent hot spell I noticed that my Air Con wasn't working. I was going

• Mitsubishi Galant GLS - Selling My Car - How Honest?! 19 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  the top mounts were replaced but creak is still there. In addition, the clutch can sometimes (for at least 2 years on and off) make a bit of noise when changing down gear. It is not in any way slipping though. Also air con has packed up. Will being honest help me sell it, or will it scare people off? I am
