• Micra K12 - Heated Rear Screen/Demister 26 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  I bought the car at the beginning of the week and I'm trying to fix the known faults. Can anybody advise me where the fuse is located on this? It may not be the fuse but as a place to start it seems obvious. I know its not in the below dash, in the cabin or the engine.

• General: ignoring the basics . . . 16 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Borrowing from a thread in Discussion: "BTW, the heated rear window on the domestic boss's vauxhall shuts off after @ 15 minutes." What a sensible thing to do. I suspect that 99% of drivers don't realize that the heated rear window is probably the biggest electrical power drain in the car.

• Renault 5 Starting Woes 26 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  SWMBO's ageing Renault 5 has started (hmm, I'd like to have avoided that word) to play up on the starting front. The starter motor intermittently refuses to crank the engine over. I've checked that there's a 12V feed from the ignition switch 'D' position to the starter soleniod - there is - and the main high current connection to the solenoid and earthing are all fine.

• Chrysler Grand Voyager - Heater not heating 14 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  Just bought a used Chrysler Grand Voyager (2006 model) - the Auxiliary Cabin Heater seems to be on all the time even when the engine heats up (apparently between 1/4 and 1/2 on the gauge is ok?).  This is with the AC setting on Hi or set to 25-30 (70+).  Even when the engine gets to 1/2 the 'blower' remains cold or fairly cold.

• Blowing hot & cold 17 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Can anyone out there solve a family argument?! I like driving the car with the windows and sunroof open and the heater on cold. SHMBO is the exact opposite, liking the heater to actually heat the car. That's all well and good until we're in the car together. I was excited to see that the new Citroen C5 may solve our problems in that it can heat on side of the car (SHMBO) and freeze another (mine).
