  done 11K in 5 months and today was reminded by the car to check the oil. Did so and found it was black and about on min. Added the free litre they gave me and it now reads max and still black. It it time to visit the main dealer. The sticker on the windscreen says longlife servicing.
• fiesta zetec 2004 - door open light stays on, unable to lock car 26 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  I have an intermittent fault on my 2004 zetec. It only seems to happen when it has rained or when I use my washers to clear windscreen. The door open light comes on and stays on even when all doors are shut, then I am unable to lock car. The central locking (not remote). I have to put key in door to lock, but as soon as I turn key to lock it instantly unlocks itself.

• How much do windscreens really cost? 27 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I've managed to put a 600mm crack in my windscreen (from the inside whilst carelessly loading long lengths of wood) and I've been pricing up a new one. From Autoglass: £791. (Fitted). From a one man band on the local industrial estate £126 (genuine OEM screen, includes fitting).

  There are two trim levels, Motion and Ultra, with Motion supplying lots of standard equipment (including heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, rear parking camera). Ultra adds climate control (as opposed to manual A/C), electrically folding door mirrors and a heater vent for rear passenger, amongst other features.
• Renault Clio II (1998 - 2001) - (98-01) washer fluid reservoir 20 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  My windscreen washer fluid reservoir is clogged! I've tried to take the windscreen wiper arm off to get at the reservoir but it is welded on, i've tried all manner of losening fluids but to no avail! Has anybody got any suggestions on how to remove the arm or are there any solutions i can put in the reservoir tank that will eat away at the gunk that has collected?
• Beat this for seasonal lunacy 29 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  It was a brilliant morning, the crystal-clear sun so low and reflecting so intensely off the road surface that north-south travel down the High St was difficult, to say the least. Lo and behold, what do I see approaching from the north? A 4x4 with two clear patches on the windscreen, each rising just about 9" from the base, each about 12" wide. The rest of the windscreen? You guessed it: completely opaque with frost. Lunacy? Criminality, more like. God preserve us.
• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - Mk4 - Replacing the heater control panel 2 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I have replaced my heater control valve a month ago as it the heating wasn't working now it only blows hot air and the HCV only gets 12v supply regardless of heat settings. I have managed to get hold of the wooden effect panal (as my car is the Ghia) for the dashboard.
• Condensation cause? 5 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Occaisionally in the cooler damper weather I find that i have a patch of quite wet condensation on the inside of the screen above the demist vent, more than just mist, nevertheless the aircon clears it quickly and the heated screen helps if required. There is no sign of water ingress in the car, the carpets are dry as is the boot, no damp smells, the climate / heating etc works fine, no coolant loss etc. I wonder if the aircon evap drain could be blocked, I guess this could cause such symtoms.
• Cooling System Fault 12 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  I have an Astra Turbo Diesel 95, when the car is cold i don't get any heat from my heaters until the water temperature reaches 100 and then hot air comes out straight away. the water temperature then goes back to normal temperature (90) straight away and i have heat as normal. i had froth in my expansion tank, but this seems to have stopped since i replaced the cap.
• Hidden benefits 20 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  I have now owned my Audi for 9 months, and only this week have I discovered that it has heated wing mirrors. They run off the same switch as the heated rear window (which doesn't work terribly well, so I don't normally bother with it). I suppose I should have read the handbook when I bought the car - I wonder what other hidden toys it has?
• Astra Mk5 1.6 Twinport - Refund for Repairs to Used Car 22 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Hi, I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to go about getting a refund for repairs to a car that I bought 8 weeks ago. From the day I bought the car I have had issues with the car having no heating and losing coolant. I have been in contact with the dealer who sold me the car and they arranged for the thermostat to be replace with a local garage that they use, on the drive home from the garage the engine management light came on and has remained on ever since.

• Toyota IQ (2008 - ) - IQ - my thoughts 26 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I was fobbed off with an answer that the car has NCAP 5* - it may have but that doesn't test rear end shunts. Entry IQ is £9,500, premium £10,500. Our Aygo was £7000. Worth it? You decide!
