  today with the car. When I have the air con on and stopped at some traffic lights, the rev counter moves between 400 and 100 every few seconds. It goes up and down. Switch the aircon off and immediately it goes to 400-450. I have changed the air filter about a year ago and only ever use the best fuel
• Suzuki Celerio - Suzuki Warranty 12 May 2021 (Forum)
  this offer up or should I now just think about servicing the car myself and save what could be £200 warranty cover and £300 ish Main Dealer servicing a year, totalling roughly £500 a year. It’s the none air con model so not a lot to go wrong really. The warranty would really be for engine failure but am I

• New old car or old new one? 15 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  in December 2013, or wait a month and buy the new, new 2014 version? I assume the 2007 version would have all the goodies at the basic model's prices, as against the new one which would no doubt have seats as an extra on the L or LX. A ghia might get you air con. Would the 2007

  After 3 years trouble-free, the' in-car' heater /air con fan suddenly stopped working. Fan controls on dashboard show symbols and lights on as normal, but fan did not function. This fault is unusual on the Note but more common on the Nissan Micra model. After

• Poly-vee belts 15 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  drives the water pump, alternator and steering/suspension pump (no air-con) through a tortuous run with the help of a couple of idler pulleys, one being a spring-loaded tensioner. I assume that the 'tortuous run' is necessary to get a good wrap-round of the belt on the pulleys on this fast-accelerating

• Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 01 2.0 Heater blower running after car locked. 13 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  unresponsive to the control on the dash (manual air con, not climate). Switched on the ignition, and the fan suddenly came back under control of the dash control. Switched off the ignition and the fan quit as normal. I'm guessing it's some kind of Canbus strop, but any ideas if this is a sign of impending
• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 1996 1.25 Sqeaky auxiliary drive belt 2 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  can't rule these out completely. It doesn't have air con or power steering. I wonder if it's the alternator bearing but with the belt off, the bearing seems fine and it's quite an expensive part to replace if not the source of the problem. I've changed the belt itself which cured the problem

  to the pump and the noise disappeared for a minute or two. Therefore is it just the belt that needs adjusting or replacing and not the water pump which I have been quoted £700 to replace. If so, is this a big job to do? The car doesn't overheat, the heating and air con work and all the hoses get hot
