  if it doesn't look too good. The air con still works though only blows through when the car is moving so it is just about possible to de-mist the windscreen. I've searched for instructions on how to replace these parts but haven't found anything at all that helps me. Could anyone point me
• Peugeot 405 Diesel - Ticking noise 6 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  for a while. Air con does not work but switch in or out makes no difference. What is the device under the rear of the N/S wing? this appears to be the source of the noise. Haynes doesn't help. The electrics are shot on this car as an "Auto electrician" attacked the car to stop the battery being flattened. I

• Mitsubishi FTO - abs as standard? 29 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Do FTO's have abs as standard? What about air-con? Neither feature seems to get mentioned in adverts on Auto trader. If they don't have it, do they not go all over the place? Still fancy a CLK (posted about them a few weeks ago), but been a bit scared by rust and reliability issues on other forums

  ) and a bit more performance to cope with mountain roads etc. I have thought of a Superb and am lining up a 24-hour test drive. Also I have thought of a Fabia vRS 130 or a Corolla 1.4D.

• peugeot 306 cooling fan not coming on 28 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  the temp gauge read 100C (red line is just over 110C), but I would expect the fan to have cut in by 100. Any thoughts? Thermostat? Broken fan? Dodgy wiring? I had the air con condensor, some pipes and both rads changed a few months ago and can't remember whether I have heard the fan since. Could
