Few Issues
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 7:47 pm
Great car, had it nearly 2 years, is a 2004 54 plate with 42k, 18's, panoramic roof, 6 disk in dash changer, full leather heated front seats etc and recently on the rollers ran 235bhp but feels like a lot more on the road, just a shame its not awd.
anyway just a few little niggles I would like to get sorted out, one or two been there since I purchased it for the mrs, and a more concerning one more recently.
Every morning the mrs is complaining she has to wipe the windows on the inside. It was only today after I drove it I noticed how bad this was getting. After driving the car for about 20 minutes and then leaving it, I returned and found all the glass including the sunroof and rear roof glass was completely steamed up. I havent looked at it yet and quite honestly dont fancy it too much in the cold weather atm, but I cant avoid it much longer. Are there any common faults I should be looking for? any common leaking points etc etc?
Cruise control has never worked unless you can hold the button in at the right point and continue to hold it. Again any common issues her?
Speed limiter, basicly same fault as the cruise control.
Steering lock, doesnt seem to engage, sometimes a clicking as you turn the wheel.
Airbag warning light is on, been on about 18 months, will be a MoT fail next year. I'm sure this is just the conector under the seat (I hope) as I constantly move the seat back and she moves it forwards. anything else I should look for and is it an easy fix?
When should cam belts be replaced and is it exspensive?
Think thats it but if anything else springs to mind then I will post it up.
All comments and help greatfully recieved.
Thanks.
