  • Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 99 1.9 indicators and hazard lights 10 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    Hi HJ, I hope someone can help, my 306 rear heated windscreen stopped working, so i checked the relay to see if it was that, when i prised it out, there was a spark, saw there was scorch marks to the prongs, put it back in and since then my indicators and hazards dont work, when i lock the car the indicators still flash though.
  • Peugeot 607 07 plate 2.0 litre hdi - Leak causing water collecting in rear footwell 16 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    My 607 seems to be letting rainwater in and it's collecting in the rear passenger footwell (under the carpet). I have checked the door seals and there is no leak there. A car glass repairer has looked at the front windscreen, and as far as he can tell there is no leak from the windscreen (he unhooked all of the trim around the windscreen and there were no signs of water ingress).
  • Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 07 1.6 Windscreen washer sediment 21 Mar 2013 (Forum)
    I was surprised when both back and front windscreen washers stopped working on my 2 year old Focus. The problem was sediment and gunge in the reservoir which had blocked the filter. Unfortunately this is quite hard to get to, located under the wheel arch and behind the arch liner.
  • sanef tags - reading through heated screens 16 May 2017 (Forum)
    The website now lists Volvo XC60 and XC90 as vehicles that may have difficulty using the tag. This is apparently because the metal elements in the heated front screens act as a shield. In other vehicles with this feature the tag is placed directly on the screen at a point in front of the rear view mirror. There are no heating elements here apparently so the tag can be read by the overhead sensors.
  • Question on heating & cooling/AC 19 May 2007 (Forum)

  • Heated Seats - No! 27 Jul 2020 (Forum)
    This got me thinking about what things I have in my car that I don't use. First to come to mind are my heated front seats. My last 4 cars had them and I probably tested them when I first got the cars and have never had occasion to use them since! Perhaps that's partly due to me living down south!
