Hi Guys, I was wondering if any of you chaps have altered the way your air con works? What I mean is that in normal operation if you direct the airflow to the windscreen the aircon automatically comes on. I tend to leave the air onto the windscreen all the time but I don't really want the...

LOL I wish

I too thinks it's some sort of gimmick. You will put the 'device' on and you will think to yourself....hmmm seems a bit more power today? All in the head I think.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.....my favourite film ;)

The motor went back to dealers to have the fuse problems sorted for the second time. Took them 3 days to find the fault was in the wiring harness which went to the front passenger door. All ok now.....well so far!!

Happarently he was very poor indeed, so lots of traffic nastiness for no good reason!

This is a link from the Vauxhall Website, it quotes what trade-in you may get, so gives a bit of an idea Land Rover Freelander Kalahari 2.0TD Diesel 3-door Hard Top 5 Speed Manual Four Wheel Drive Year: 2003 03 Mileage: 23,000 Part-exchange Price: Excellent condition: £8430 Average...

Forgot to mention - Air Con was on most of the time 'cos I didn't realise it came on automatically when you direct the air to the windscreen!:rolleyes:

Hi Guys, As you may know already, we bought a 1.8 5 door adventurer. What sort of MPG do you get from yours (cue lots of jokes from Minge, Mondeo & silly hat) Just had a weekend in Somerset which comprised of 200 miles of Friday afternoon/evening motorway (not nice) a trip round the safari...

Well the fuse has blown again only 4 days later :mad: Rang $tealer, he said it would be ok to replace with a new fuse in the interim period to getting it back to be checked. Being a sparky by trade I'm a little worried about just replacing blown fuses without finding the cause. What...

Update of the visit to $tealers: AirCon - Short of gas....seems a bit strange for an 11 month old car? Side lights / dash illumination - blown fuse....replaced all ok Steering - all normal (as already posted) So I was a happy bunny, no charge & car washed too..............well so I...

Cheers Steve, it goes in tomorrow to be 'sorted'?????:rolleyes:

Red stuff in the tank....not down yer neck!

Sorry, I have only been around a couple of weeks ;)

I think you forgot to spell check that post......should it have read : "It's a known fault (mis-design characteristic)" :)

Hi guys thanks for the replies ;) Another thing I noticed.......when I turn full lock (either way) then reverse, it seems as though the brakes are on a little (won't freewheel down my drive as my other cars have done) it's fine when steering is straight. Is this normal?? Thanks MIB

Got to agree - had it's first service too as part of the 'deal'...obviously not done very well!!

So the heater controls etc should be illuminated??

Well, the Freelander was picked up yesterday (Friday) the wife drove it home, then I went off to work. Today went for a bit of a spin.....chucking it down, cab steams up...ahh turn air con on that'll soon clear it up I thought!! Erm....no!! Got home lifted the bonnet, found the A/C...

Where's the e-mail address, gotta be worth a punt!! NOT!! These type of e-mails are flying around fleabay all day long - stay well away.
