    Seized rear calipers

    You dont need a windback tool for the tourer, you can just use grips to push it back in but be carefull not to damage the piston seal.

    Does anyone no a mobile air con specialist - Nottingham?

    When you took it back to get it checked did they check to see if it had enough pressure in or did they simply get you to press the button and then listen for the compressor kicking in? If they didn't check it for pressure then you need someone to stick it on a machine and check to make sure its...

    Does anyone no a mobile air con specialist - Nottingham?

    Pressure switch or wiring to it could be at fault as well. Didnt someone add a feed to the wire on the compressor to see if it kicked the clutch in? I'm sure there is a discussion about it somewhere on here.

    mpg function?

    There's extra buttons on the steering wheel for the trip computer also. So does the pre facelift have the speed warning thing that you can set? I ***ume thats only facelifts that have that as you use the buttons for the computer to set it.

    gas ***ist heater

The fan does still blow but only slowly when its not set to HI and the...

    gas ***ist heater

    I cant remember off the top of my head what mine does in all honesty. I probably have it set to HI and Demist Windscreen when its really cold till it warms up but its around the 3 minute mark when you get warm air.
