  • C200 Kompressor 3 dr manual coupe 20,000 miles - Mercedes antenna repair 2 Mar 2016 (Forum)
     I cannot believe Mercedes would design a car with an antennae that can only be reached through the rear windscreen. An antennae is not a consumable and has been placed in an almost inaccessible place.  Surely this must be a design fault?
  • Jaguar X-Type - Grating windscreen wipers 1 Jul 2012 (Forum)
    The new blades are good for a short while (just a few months in fact) and then I have to change them. Never had such a problem with them as on this car, normally I have been getting several years use on other cars. The strange thing is that in the course of a day they can go from being grating and not clearing well to being suddenly quiet. I have read  some BMW 3 series are also prone to this problem; I wonder if they are flipping over properley?

  • Mercedes-Benz A-Class LWB - Noise from heating/ventilation system 6 Mar 2014 (Forum)
      I pressed the air recirculation button.  About 16 loud clunks occur (about 1 per second) then stop. Same repeats each time car is started.  Does not seem to affect heating or ventilation.  Not sure about recirc, though. Independent garage seems to know about this kind of fault ('likely motor, about £70') plus up to 7 hours removing and reinstalling the whole dash.
  • Peugeot 307 SW (2002 - 2008) - 2004 2.0 hdi heat control failure 16 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    A few days ago I came to use the heater fan in the car and it failed to work. All of the other controls work, such as the A/C and heated rear screen. I have checked all the fuses inside the car and the fuse box in the engine compartment. I have even had part of the dash board apart and removed the heater control unit to check for loose wires etc on the back, but nothing.
  • Windscreen replacement - any companies to avoid? 15 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    The windscreen on my Legacy has just cracked and will need replacing, (stone chip damage). I had the same problem on my Passat about four years ago and was definitely NOT impressed by the standard of the workmanship when it was replced by one of the big companies in this market.
