• Ford Focus Zetec 2008 - Does 3 months warranty from dealer cover faulty AC 11 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  simply said everything. As far as i'm concerned no matter what the AC / ventilation system fall under, this should be covered by the warranty.  Can you let me know what you think and maybe if you could throw in a few lines that I can use if he tries to lead me astray?

• FIAT Punto II (1999 - 2006) - Fitting new dip beam headlight bulbs 1 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  and insert the new bulb. Its a five minute job on both sides done this way. You need a 10mm spanner and perhaps needle nosed pliers to pull the electrical lead off the bulb. Best to check headlight alignment afterwards The Mk2b looks easier than the Mk2 - it uses rubber `caps` over the bulb insertion

It was confirmed that one of the six or seven bidders was a European automaker based out of Munich, which leads many to believe that it is BMW since the two firms once signed an engine purchasing agreement back in 2010. It would be mighty interesting if BMW is able to come out of this one

  plugs and leads about 2 years ago and it didn't help at the time. Now back to the challenge! We got the car serviced for brake fluid and general look around the vehicle... the mechanics changed the sparkplugs again, saying they were black. The car starts the same. I changed the crankshaft sensor

  petrol has leaked around the throttle body. Someone said I need a new throttle body which I am in the process of buying. Is this likely to be the problem or the only problem, is there any chance that is not the problem and it is something else? There is a split in the pipe leading from

  - connect a lead, press a couple of buttons and job done, but apparently the software is only available to Peugeot dealers so - once again - it's a captive market If you dont have it done then every journey starts with a warning that there is a TPI missing. So that;s your choice - £110 extra per TPI
