    Air con wiring

    Hi, need a bit of help please. Just had air con re gassed but the compressor refused to kick in and the blue light on dash did not come on. Guy could not detect any leaks but could not do a full test obviously, Fuse under dash was OK and could not see any obvious faults. I went out for a...

    My problem with modern cars

    No power steering was fine when you had 135 tyres, like my panda and uno but then everyone wanted big fat things, our first 405 had no power steering, you had to do an arm warm up before trying to park in the multi story. Sons old micra was unassisted and it was OK, but much prefer this one...

    cross member removal

    OK thanks, the pictures have made things a lot clearer. Do you think it's possible to do the job without removing the radiator and more importantly the air con condenser?

    Fast idle

    Fast idle

    OK might be sorted, topped up with petrol to dilute red X in the tank and gave TB a good dose of carb cleaner, idle is back to normal and power steering switch is also kicking in. I'm going to get emissions checked are I think fuel consumption is a bit high, but as this is a new car that could...

    still no joy, wax stat is not touching the throttle mechanism when the engine is warm so still cant get revs to drop.
