• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 04 1.8 ventilation - blower control 15 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  When I got the car back the blower switch now only works when turned to position 4. It was working fine before I put it into the garage, I always have the air con turned on at least in position 1. Any idea what could have happened? Could it be related to the water leak in some way? They did replace the pollen filter as the water had got into it. I have the manual aircon system not automatic temperature control one.

• Peugeot Partner Combi (2001 - 2004) - Pugeot Partner Combi - Buying a Demonstrator 27 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  They no longer need all the seats of 806 but still want load space and a high(ish) driving position. They have been looking at Citroen Berlingos, but this Partner looks like a good deal (Air con is a requirement). Any advice about buying a demonstrator? Good price? List price new is £12,987

• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Turning your engine off at traffic lights? 16 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  If this is true, how long would you need to be waiting at the lights before it becomes more economical to turn the engine off and re-start when the lights go green? For the purpose of this question, please ignore the fact that you will lose air con whilst the engine is turned off.
• MG ZT+180 V6 Auto 4 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Well against the advice of friends and relatives I went out and bought one today, a lovely example in trophy blue on a 52 reg with FSH including cambelts changed, working air-con and no mayo in the oil cap! A nice half leather and suede interior and large spoiler to boot. Even after reading CBC breakdown I made sure that the engine cooling fans worked. I'm very happy (so far) so please backroomers have I made a bad chioce as everyone else i've spoke too seems to think.
• Fiesta Zetec water in passenger footwell 15 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  The puddle doesn't smell of coolant etc so I assume its clean water. Its only really been evident since she has been using the air con lots so im guessing its a blockage in the condensation drain pipe? I doubt it is the usual suspect (pollen filter cover) because it hasn't been raining! Any suggestions? If it is the condensation drain pipe, any idea how I get to it to clean it out / replace it?
• Vectra 1.6i 16v misfire 23 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Incidently the car is often run on optimax (otherwise standard shell) and goes like stink for a 1.6 in a large car - even with the air con on! Thanks in advance

• Peugeot 406 (1996 - 1998) - 97 1.8 Heater blower not working 2 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  I have a P reg Peugeot 406 1.8 LX petrol, and the heater blower used to work intermittingly. But now it does not work at all - the light for air-con does come on and so does the orange light on the button but no blower. The heat setting does work because you can feel the hot air if you put your hand over the vents but it has not got any blower at all.

• Rover 400 (1995 - 1999) - 1999 1.4 ECU Advice 27 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  He mentioned if this did not resolve it, I should constantly keep the blower on at setting 1, and constantly have the air con switched on. I told him that the blower didn't work on settings 1 & 2 anyway, and he said that's even better as I won't have to suffer hot or cold air but leaving at setting 1 will still be triggered enough to power the fan constantly.
• How Much for an MX5 Special ? 31 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  Mrs Etchells has finally decided that an MX5 is the car for her and currently they do a vary tasty special with a hard top. The Montana has other extras such as leather and air-con and is priced just a shade under £3k over the price of a standard 1.8 model, at £18995. I have had a sniff around the dealer and naturally they claim that Mazda will not discount. But ! Lo,in this weeks local rag the very same dealer is offering it at £17995 with a £500 deposit allowance from Mazda.

• Hyundai i30 - At what point would you lose confidence in a car? 29 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  Today, at ironically the latest 2 month (ish) instalment, it's been back to the dealer to have the air con looked at as was not pressurising and not blowing cold. Topped up with gas and told to 'see how it goes' as it may have a leak that will require a new air con unit - warranty job again. Or apparently they need re-gassing every year???
