  in this weather that the air con freezes his hands to the steering wheel! I could pass this on to him but Insurance still a bit crazy for a 22 year old (The Octavia is cheap because it's just the 75ps 1.416v) This forum suggested a Honda Jazz a few years ago as an idea for my sister who is not quite

  Hi All, After some advice about misdescribing of a vehicle I've purchased. The car (Citroen C1 VTR, £2900) was listed on ebay as having Air Con, but when I went to inspect the car I didn't check it was working (it was cold and it didn't even cross my mind to), but upon

• Ford Modeo 2003 - Intermittent dashboard fault 28 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  it comes back again.  Sometimes it lasts the whole drive. I have to use my sat nav to work out what speed I'm doing instead. The only dial that works all the time is my petrol one.  My other current issue is my air con won't switch off at all. So I'm going through fuel like nobodies business

• Economical reliable commuting diesel, help please! 26 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  , the rear brake discs need changed (just done the fronts), the air-con fan is squealing, and the service history can best be described as "partial" (20k, 40k, 55k, 100k, 120k, 135k, not main dealer). It's had timing belt, radiator and EGR valve all replaced this year. I'm looking to spend around 7k or so

  would have put in the Honda for the trip to France (and the Honda was an estate which we would load up to seat level).

  and offered everything I want/need. The sunroof was very nice and a bonus in a car with air-con. I was, however, a little disappointed with the seating.

  battery it sometimes doesnt start. If the car stalls due to the gearbox now, she has to wait ten minutes for it to suddenyl decide it will turn over. All lights, air con etc have to be turned off for it to start. which led me to think it may be a voltage regulator issue. At this point the car
