• BMW 5 Series Touring E61 - air con failure due to stone damage 4 May 2015 (Forum)
  My air con has failed due to stone damage leading to a repair bill of just shy of £800. Since the failure is due to stone damage surely this a design fault due to insufficient shielding.  Is BMW liable due to design failure for any of the repair bill?

• V/hall Astra Air Con 1 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Ladies and Gentlemen, I have had a 1999 Vhall Astra 1.8 CDX for about ten months and i am getting a musty smell from my Air Con. If I switch between the two I get the smell for a bit but it clears in five or ten minutes. I have thought it may be the pollen filter. Would be grateful if anyone could provide advice. Paul
• Air-con 26 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Advice please on the best way to use the air-con system on modern cars. Honest John suggest use at all times? My friends are not convinced, claiming high fuel bills and loss of power. Any setting of the heating system to the screen on modern cars automatically turns the A/C on, so is the manufacturer and honest John correct or should A/C be used more sparingly (cold/weekly/or unless you need it)?

• Peugeot 207 1.6 VTI 120 (EP6) - Thermostat Housing and Air Conditioning 16 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  As the weather in the UK generally doesn't require the air con, I hadn't noticed that the air con did not blow cold. When testing the air con, I noticed it blew warm, so took it for a refill and that didn't sold the issue. Driving home, the air con started working and worked for 3 days after (admittedly the car hadn't been driven after being parked the night it started working).
