• spacesaver tyres & old backroom polls 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I might also add that I think it is interesting that car mags have tables at the back which tell you about whether cars have air-con, alloys, etc - but they never seem to incorporate spare wheel choice in these tables. What do other Backroomers think?

• Value of my 1999 206 1.4lx 9 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I'm trying to price my 206 1.4LX 5 door with air con 1999 (v)and 17k miles. I've looked at the valuations in Glass's online, Whatcar and Parkers and the prices they are going for in Autotrader and exchange and mart. There appears to be no consistancy between any of this, with prices varying between £4750 and £5600.
• Nissan Almera - Replacing a cd player 27 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  I took it to Halford's, they couldn't replace it because the controls for the stereo also control the heater/air con.  I've tried everything I can think of to get it out and failed. I rang the main dealer to ask how much it would cost to replace it; £600!     Any ideas what I should do?
• Volkswagen Golf MKV TDI - Heater problem 10 May 2012 (Forum)
  Just bought an 07 Golf TDi. Heater works fine initially ( temp turned fully up, air con light off ), then when I turn it down slightly it goes cold and when I turn the dial back up to the max it remains cold. The fan works ok on all speeds.  Has anyone experienced this problem & is it expensive to fix?
• Daihatsu Charade - 2006 Daihatsu Charade idle won't settle.... 14 Jun 2011 (Forum)
    When the engine has been running for some time, the idle quite often hovers around 1100-1400 revs and will not go down.   Whether or not electrical is on e.g. the headlights/air-con, etc.... it makes no difference.   Any ideas guys?

• re Toyota Soluna Vios 80,000km Test 14 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  yes my partner is malaysian they have these cars out there too seems a good deal versus a uk corolla/arius certainly a proper auto instead on MMT would be good i liked them of course as an import they would be useless as they come standard with air con but no heater... lots of protons out there as well, actually very impressed with the standard of home built cars they have
• I have a question Volume 43 27 May 2004 (Forum)
  The company where I work want to install air-con into an old building (converted barn), but there are issues with installation of the full-blown jobs because of the roof, or something. The alternative I am trying to get them to install are those wall-mounted jobs - I know Toshiba make these, are there any other manufacturers ?
• VW Polo. Couple of questions 28 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Hi Have a 1998 1.6 auto Polo CL I was wondering if it's possible to have an after market Air Con unit fitted to this model. And roughly how much it would cost. ? Also does anyone know if this particular Model came with ABS as standard or was that an option. ? Last Question how difficult would it be to change the Bulbs in the Heater Display has anyone done this ?
• Audi 80 wet feet 16 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hello all, I have an Audi 80 F-reg, which a couple of weeks ago decided to leak water into the footwells. Any ideas why this is?? The car has no air con and it was a dry day so water wasn't coming in from the out side. I have had a quick look but can't see any leaking pipes and it hasn't done it since. Many thanks for any help

• Hyundai i20 - Hyundai Warranty 12 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  We have been told that the regassing of the air conditioning unit which is apparently 10% down on gas is a wear and tear item despite the car being only 15 months old!!. When we challenged their stance the dealer contacted Hyundai and were advised that the air con gas is only warrantied for 6 months.
