• installing window glass 7 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  My question is whether special tools are needed to refit the window (I think I could probably get a cheap seal from a scrapyard) or whether she's best going to a windscreen specialist? (she's been quoted approx £100 and that's using the glass that she's been left with). She thinks her windscreen excess on her insurance is also £100.

• Volkswagen Windsreens 13 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  I currently have a Volkswagen Passat TD Estate, first registered in March 2000 and would willingly recommend the car to anyone ? well built, economical, good performance etc. I want to check to see if I have been unlucky or is there a fault with these cars? Since I have had the car, I have had to have two new windscreens fitted and have just noticed another new crack.
• Ford Focus 1800cc Zetec - Overheating engine 12 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  The exhaust is just about warm on tick over until the engine is reved then it is also hot as the revs push out the gases. The car heater is extremely hot after a few minutes and is of a very dry overheated quality? The thermostat must be opening and the temp sensor is sending a signal to switch the fans on and off. As you walk past the front of the car you can feel the heat radiated and smell that the hoses are very hot.

• 2007 Ford Focus2 1.6 petrol - Slow heater warm up 17 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  The interior heater on this car always used to warm up very quickly. For some time now, although the engine temperature gauge shows that the engine heats up very quickly, the heater can take about 15 minutes to get hot enough. There is then plenty of heat.
• Vauxhall Astra G Coupe/Convertible (2000 - 2004) - 03 1.8 heating problems 21 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  After driving about 10 miles my temperature guage goes into the red, if i put the heater on full the temp comes back down to 80 or 90 deg, the heater works fine, the electric fan cuts in at around 90 deg but the radiator remains cold as does the bottom hose, the top hose is hot. I have drained and refilled the coolant but the problem still persists. The car runs fine, no startin problems and no steam or hissing, i am a little worried that the radiator is stone cold though and as i said the bottom hose is also cold, any advice would be helpful.
