  to the vehicle by opening the bonnet and have bent the radiator and air con rad too.    Basically, it's been written off as a Cat C, but we haven't talked money yet as I wanted a second estimate as £4k seemed far too high when the chassis is fine.  The car only has 60k

  a week and when it does the air con seems to 'warm up' - still works but not very well (normally very good). I have a memoscan fault code reader, it sees there is a fault but I get the code NA (not available?). The reader can reset the fault light and then everythng is fine. I found a tip that if you
• Citroen - 05 2.0 Strange noise, goes when clutch is pressed 1 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  (if that could be possible... Sorry). It does not stop if I turn the air con off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get an appointment with the dealer who sold me the car, but they seem to be playing for time. But we don?t have much time, as we have to travel to the continent in 2 weeks

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - Think I'm about to buy one. 23 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  . I've been researching the C-max and this seems to be a decent price. I've no trouble with the 1.6 engine as it will be a second (practical) car for the wife and kids. The only issues I can find on the petrol engine models are regular reports of air-con packing up. The dealer is a well established

  , power steering, and be at least a 1.4 litre. Not too fussed about air con etc, but that would be nice. Ideally it would not be a lot bigger in length than what I have now, but I understand it will be because of the extra 2 doors. The next problem is my budget. I reckon I could stretch to £4,000. I 'm

• Main dealer - is this ethical? (prize!!) 3 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Took my "XXX" (3 year old car) into a XXX main dealer this week for a warranty job. The air-con was a bit smelly, and needed deodorising to remove the bacteria from the matrix. They kept it for the day, and when I collected it on Tuesday, all seemed fine. However I happened to check what they had

• Nearly -new fleet or older "quality"?? 30 May 2001 (Forum)
  walk away from a big shunt if the worst happens. It hasn?t escaped my notice that used Saabs, even the newer 900 and 9-3 models a few years old seem ridiculously cheap, come with all the kit like air-con etc, have the space I need plus the engineered safety and build quality. So what?s the catch
