Tina Turner and Kwik-Fit
Well, steamy windows anyway...
Realised the A/C had given up the ghost and booked in a for a regas at the local KakFoot, as it’s just a plug and play fix right?
Got the call after an hour that there was ‘no gas in the system and that there was a leak somewhere’ so come and collect and we’ll refund the £40 to you.
On arrival the cheeky chappy (‘Technician’) said I had to go to Birmingham to visit a specialist, or Main Dealer as the Bumper, Undertray and all sorts would have to come off to trace the leak🙄
‘Oh and by the way you have a bad exhaust leak as there are fumes under the car by the front suspension - FBH is your source matey, ‘what’s that?’ he said - worked on loads and never heard of it.....’
Oh how I smiled....
Anyway, money refunded and a couple of hours free parking while shopping.
Now for a decent AC diagnostic chap in Warwick area.....

Condensers are common to go replaced mine and the one on my sport quite prone to holes in it as well as leaking from rear air-con pipes:thumbsup:Discovery 3 se gone

I’ll have a rummage in the morning, probably leave it to an AC boffin to give me a diagnosis then decide the plan.....

Cruise Control is now absent without trace, not so much as a ‘Seeya’

I had a similar thing in my d2 the Kwik fit person said I had to go and see a specialist as the air con was knackered. I got home with the air con on blowing cold ish air. Checked the fan and it had seized. Changed it and the fuse and back to a fridge in the car. Me thinks some of these garages are telling lies and sending people to other places for a commission. If they train their staff properly to do a job then repeat visits by a customer would be bad
Just my thought anyway

Hi Slomofo, may I ask where in Warwick did you take it, could do with getting mine serviced.
Regards Lee.
