• Audi 80 Cabriolet 2.6e - A few problems! 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  ? Again, all the fuses are intact. 4)The steering wheel is not quite straight when going straight ahead - about 5 degrees off. Is this just a simple wheel alignment? 5) Finally the when you press the Air Con button the compressor pulley doesn't begin to turn as it should - it is too cold to feel if it's
• BMW 318 E46 Coolant System Troubles 18 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  head gasket problems. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated. I bought the car 5 years ago from nearly new because I wanted a reliable car which would soak up high mileage. The car has been regularly maintained but I have been disappointed by the minor (windscreen wiper relay, heater relay, air
• Mk4 Golf - not that good? 10 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  for them. I know two people who have Mk4 Golfs, a 1.8 GTi and a 1.9TDi (the 110bhp) and they've both had problems for stupid quality issues that really shouldn't crop up on a 17 grand plus car. Electric windows falling out of their mountings, air con leaks, problems with hi-fi equipment, electrical
• Toyota Prius not rubbish to drive shock! 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  knocked off line by pot holes which happens in various US sheds. Actually, I realised, a Prius is not only relaxing but also (gulp) fun to drive. Time to take stock of the interior. There is a digital speedo, lots of idiot lights, including one that tells you when the air-con is switched on and one
• Toyota Voxy - Toyota Misfire And White Smoke On Cold Starting 30 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  . 4/ The engine gets really hot real quick and the fan keeps coming on very frequently but I think this might be due to some air blockage in the cooling system or some leak in the radiator
• Used car never ending faults 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  questioned this. An update was made but it’s no different. The garage say it’s fine. Latest fault is the air con, a new blender was fitted but didn’t cure. Now a new heater box is being fitted and that means dashboard out. I certainly have no confidence that this will be the final fix as with the roof I’m
• multi - car insurance 5 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  not worth selling the older car ( Shogun Pinin 3 door Auto on a W ) as the published value is about two grand and i've spent half that in the last year - new cam belt kit, air con recharge , tyres and a full service, so basically I might get offered £1500 or so for it - it's worth more as a back - up car
• 54 Focus 1.8i - What SUV to replace a great car to drive? 22 May 2017 (Forum)
  and is comfortable for long trips. Being old school i actually like a car that drives well and has a manual box, we also prefer an opening sunroof over air con but that seems to be a big ask these days.  We have test driven the CR-V, Qashqui, CX3, ASX, C-HR, X1, Tiguan, GLA, Tuscon, Q3 and have either
• Any. - Reasonably priced reliable commuter vehicle. 9 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  and more) My wife has a fiesta ecoboost that is fantastic and I can manage 50-55 mpg on my commute but will cost more than I'm willing to spend. My main requirements are a car under 4 years old that has 5 doors, air con, ESP, a full array of airbags and a reasonable boot. This car will suffer dents etc
• Mazda 6 - Idling and low rev torubles 18 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  had Mazda services, I wonder if it has never been calibrated and maybe this is the issue. So, this is what the car does now. Idle is a little rough. If I turn on the Air Con at idle it goes really rough and sometimes stalls (more so when warm). When driving, pull is very weak up
• Citroen Xsara Picasso - Consider buying or walk away? 17 May 2013 (Forum)
  .  Having Googled the water leakage it seems to be a common problem.  There are various causes ranging from water getting in through door seals or something to do with the air con dripping out water.  The owner is likely to drop the price again due to this so we would be getting the car for much
• MINI Cooper - MPG on a Mini Cooper 16 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  . I have tried being feather-light with the throttle. I also make use of the start-stop in traffic, change up in line with the shift indicator and I don't run the air con or use the cruise control much. I wouldn't say I'm a particularly heavy footed driver. My view is that as the sales contract
• Ford Galaxy (1995 - 2006) - 2002 1.9tdi Turbo goes into limp mode 3 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  test no fault recorded. On return to me, the fault does not happen as often but it's still there, and it's a dangerous fault to have especially when overtaking!, the last time it happened i only turned the air con. on and the car went straight into limp mode, pulled up switched off and back on again

  cars outright. These are all double the price of the UK but we don't have the salting so much and the air is much dryer generally! All cars subject to all electronics especially the air con working of course. The 3 hour round trip to the office has made me thing to stick to normal cars as it would
• 2008 Volkswagen Polo 1.4 SE - Engine judder when at idle 5 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  had my air filter changed as it has always been a little smelly when putting the air con on. Got it back yesterday. It's running better but still juddery a little at idle but nowhere near as bad as before. The RPMs are running at idle between the 7/8 mark under the large ten on the counter

  Forgive me, it has been quite some time since my last posting... hope everyone is doing well I’ve a Citroen c5 tourer, 2010 with the auto HDi 163 engine. When I pulled up outside my house the other night, noticed that the air con had cut out, and got an error saying battery low or electrical
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 00 2.0 HDi Aux Belt Removed, Cannot Start! 23 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  stop the car starting (Alternator, Air con, power steering is all?) I checked all plugs in the vicinity and nothing looks loose. Found fuel inertia switch had popped up and reset but still no joy - car turns over really fast - see almost 500rpm on the speedo but nothing! The other odd / ominous thing

  . Staff dont mind the smaller vehicles as long as they have 5 doors, air con and a cd player. It has saved us a small fortune.

  trim levels including black paint, electric pack (windows, mirrors, remote locking, alarm), colour coding (bumpers, mirrors, side strips), air con, side airbags. The garage also threw in paint/interior protection, mats, boot liner, mudflaps and I bought a chrome strip for the bootlid to finish it off
