    Cooling

    A quick Q gang. My AC failed some summers back and I've no intention of fixing it. Is there anything to be gained in terms of cooling by removing the condensor?

    Moan

    Moan, moan, moan. Thats all anybody does on here. Just replaced tensioners and belts on air con and PAS. The air con one disintergrated up the motorway - but i.m not moaning, it had been whiring away for months and i had ignored. Now runs nice and quite again - slight moan, cost of tensioners.:)

    More "O bugger"

    So i get on my train this morning and bump into a mate I've not see for a couple of months. Well he says after exchanging the usual "how goes", "I've just taken delivery of my new FL2". I could hardly hide my jealousy, "its the one that stop starts with leather interior bla bla etc etc". Moral...

    Tarting up FL1

    Well missus given verdict on upgrading to FL2 and "computer says no" and dont mention again - you know the one! So thoughts turned back to upgrading bumpers to late or going to all black plastics (looks sharper than grey) or how about colour coding all the plastic? looking on Goog images saw...

    Leave it to experts

    Well, decided that the small row of dents in me Freelandy's bonnet was getting me down. So off I go to buy filler, undercoat - orders top coat from dealer bla bla. Finished it today and it looks hideous - only upside was the laugh it gave the bloke who runs our local bodyshop. Moral, put up...

    Vcu

    Sorry to be dull but does anybody on the forum have first hand experience of how a new vcu feels on the vehicle? My F/L is usual ie brakes on feel in tight turns and now done 80k i'm prepared to believe that the vcu needs replacing - less inclined to shell out if it is going to feel the same. I...

    Annoying squeak

    Well, my much cared for FL1 is holding together rather well (tempting fate here) and remains me fav vehicle of all time. Not a huge prob this (obviously can turn radio up) but over decent pot holes etc quite a loud squeak from (seems like) offside rear door. When open the hinges do seem to have...

    Fuel choice

    Last week I ran my 1.8 fl very low on petrol, not deliberately, just one of those things. When I got to a garage that was open no standard unleaded. So I fill up with premium abour 9p a litre dearer. Anyhoo the fl is running smoother (defo) and seems more lively (imagination, maybe). My question...
