Hi rocco I went through this last year, parted with a fair chunk of cash, and bit the bullet.............. Read my post titled, 'Bit The Clutch Bullet......' Crockett

Hi Greg Don't blame you for refitting a DMF. In my opinion, a FL is supplied with one, so refit one. :)

Hi My daughter is 17, and has her own car and own insurance. The only issue is, she has a tracker fitted as part of the deal, and it's still over £2k for the first year, but will be halved by year two. She pays £200 a month, at a struggle, but she will build her no claims that way. It's pretty...

I was thinking the same thing, cheeky feckker! lol

I was minding my own business yesterday, putting my shopping in the back of my car, a 01 plate TD4, when I felt a tap on my arm. Turns around, and a guy is standing there. I said, "Alright", as you do. He said, " I had one of these, same year same colour. Had to get rid of it....... HGF." I...

Hi If you've taken the EGR plate out, what did you replace it with? I would suggest starting there first. If you read the EGR thread, and follow the fitting instructions, this may cure your issue ;)

Hi Mine was left for a little under a year, outside, by a tree before I bought it. The front brake caliper seized by the time I got it home, the rear drums were both seized, but freed up with a, ahem, light tap with a lump hammer (!), and upon removal of the plastic engine cover, I discovered...

Hi Austen Once I've saved my pocket money (!) I'll be heading your way hopefully to get both the VCU and a IRD, as I'm running in Mondo at the mo. :)

Hi The door lock issue is the central locking mechanism....... just changed my drivers side one. Sounds like you need two :( You can get them, used, from fleabay....... I wouldn't recommend it though because you don't know what you're getting. I would buy new. They are about 70 - 90 squid...

All great advice guys, especially about the compressor lubricant. Thanks :banana:

Hi EBT yes, that was the first thing I checked, then the compressor clutch for movement / freeplay too, just in case.

Those are the prices I'm getting too Hippo. I'm hoping it is a simple case of regas, and it'll all work as it should. I don't really want to fork out for a new compressor :eek:

Well at least I'll get a definite answer too, if I regas it. Cheers Robin :)

Hi Robin Low gas pressure will stop engaging? If that's the case then a proper regas will be the order of the day.:)

Good morning lads and lasses I have had no aircon since I bought the FL, but put fixing it on the back burner until now. I have read through the various threads, looked on various generic aircon sites, but still have no definitive answer. The clutch on the compressor isn't engaging. Now...
