• MOT Asian style 6 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  it. Maybe 2-300 people. It's all out in the open so no air-con. Smoke test first, then buy your mandatory insurance, then inspector stencils engine and frame number on your form and he's supposed to check about 30 things on the list. G he's always laughing about this. Examples: Steering: Normal
• Vectra - How much do you reckon... 17 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  on it, it has a 4 disc changer, the full (but none colour) information screen, 16" alloys, air con, rain sensing wipers, dimming mirror, cruise control and all that jazz. There's nothing wrong with the car apart from being the most boring piece of machinery I've ever used (and I'm including the kettle
• Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - Car seats - not what they used to be... 15 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  , there seemed to be little ?wicking? of moisture away from the skin and I felt legs, back and backside getting hot and it?s been a cool day (15° with air-con on). Has anybody else noticed this? I drove a 2002 model as a courtesy car some years ago and recalled the seating to be on a par with my old model. I
• New golf has arrived - first questions! 5 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  think I'm getting the hang of it now and the air con is brilliant! It is a really nice car to look at - I'm so glad I went for the Sport 3 dr instead of the stodgy five door SE. I have some questions, and I have read the manual but it's not the most helpful of things (keeps telling me I can set things
• V220 - Apalling service at Halfords Redhill 21 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  for this awful service, she drove away and realised that the heater was blowing hot air non stop and that they had broken the air con and heater. She took it back and they said "it was like that beofre - must have been" my girlfriend didn't accept this and explained how it was all working perfectly until
• Honda Civic - Is this car worth considering? 8 May 2019 (Forum)
  spoke to the owner and went and saw the car, 2 weeks ago. He is a Hungarian gentleman, who is leaving UK, hence selling the car. Issues with the car at that time:- 1) Air Con was not cooling 2) Only 1 key   3) A little uneven panel gaps around the front

• Seat Ibiza - Please help - rejecting a vehicle 4 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  and nearly smashed into the car behind me. Also noticed a strong smell of petrol coming from the car when getting out of it, the vent on the dash board sounded like it had gas escaping from it when the heating or air con was on. Also window wipers were not working as they should. I sought advice from CAB
• Ford Fiesta 1.6tdci Titanium - Cat C repaired car - major issues, any advice 28 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  the bolt simply welded back on and a damaged inner supprt panel. There was dented air con pipes and leaking coolant hoses. The guys at the garage said that this car had obviously been involved in quite a heavy front end impact. They also said that the cambelt had probably snapped due to the mis
• Peugeot 405 GL 1991 (carb) - Engine Cooling fans not working 4 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I've been driving my 405 GL since its manufacture. It is a model fitted with air-con. 5 years ago I was forced to replace the entire engine. Since then I have had problems with the cooling fans. Due to a leakage I have also not been able to restore my aircon. Because of the shoddy work done, I had
• Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 - Had the car only 3months..what are my rights! 22 May 2012 (Forum)
  to notice that when the car is in neutral you can feel the whole car vibrate slightly, and if the air con is on the vibrations increase more. At first I tryed not to think much off it, I thought I was being a bit fussy but after a month just to be safe i took it to my local MOT and Service centre, thinking
• Citroen C4 Picasso 7-st (2007 - ) - - 10 day hire car review 12 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  throttle to disengage. Engine was a corker, lot of power and seemed quite economical. Ideal for motorway cruising. Cruise control was easy to use, showing set speed on dash and +/- buttons to adjust on wheel. Lots of cubby holes, and drinks bin with air con, although they were bit small, would have
• Driving the Amalfi Coast and Naples 5 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  at times, everything else about it was good. Great air-con, slick gearbox, sharp brakes, good handling, comfortable. It was the right size for the roads and was great fun to drive. But does it really need a “city” setting for the power-steering? Does it really need power-steering at all?
• Ford Focus Zetec 5 Dr 1.6 Tdci (2011 mark3) - Control panel lights and cAN bus issues 23 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  of returning to the car in a car park to find all of the side windows fully open (the car has "global opening /closing"), and another occassion where the radiator cooling fan stayed on after the car was locked - cold day after a short run of 15 miles, air con switched off, and temp gauge showing normal reading
• Transporter, Vivaro, Transit - Small Motor Vans: What you need to know! 14 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  , with a variety of food and confectionary snacks laid out like a banquet over that wonderful dashboard. Additonally all of the vans have a smallish glove box, which if you opt for air con will be refrigerated in summer. So the Ford is clear winner here!  Unfortunately Ford don't seem to rust proof
• Picked up the Scenic today.... 23 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  open windows shut. Kit is very generous - 4 electric windows, ABS, EBD, ESP, a full complement of airbags, air-con and double sunroof, CD multichanger, refrigerated glovebox, electric folding mirrors, alloys.....you name it. And yes, it all works. For now! :-) Faults? It's popped its offside headlight
• Ford Mondeo - Purchase nightmare! 28 May 2015 (Forum)
  . I gave the car a once over whilst visiting and soon discovered the oil level was not showing on the dipstick and the temp gauge rose to 90degrees after 5mins of the engine running at idle! Not good. The air-con does not work either and the remote key has to be used manually to unlock the car even
• New Car Time - Replacing Nissan Primera P11-144 6 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  like gadgets, so air con, electric windows all round, electric mirrors is a must. Not fussed about leather and heated seats though, or climate control. iPod and Bluetooth connectivity is a requirement whether it's part of the car or available through an add on, with full integration - ie, not just
• My first 6 weeks with a 520d 15 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  are on cruise control you can very easily be travelling at a higher speed than thought/sensible. The car does have a ‘Sport/Comfort/Eco Pro’ button by the side of the gearbox and it does make a real difference. I don’t bother with Eco Pro. It works up to 75MPH and is supposed to dial down the air con
• Grand Scenic - full review. 3 May 2007 (Forum)
  have are cruise control, leather, electric seats and full climate (it has "basic" air-con). Everything else you could reasonably think of, and a lot you couldn't, are present. It all works too. We have already fallen in love with the keyless operation, but I still don't like the electric parking brake
