My OTHER little cherub (only he's not so little now) has duff aircon on his Peugeot. He's tried the main dealer, who supposedly topped it up (but it still isn't working) and said they could not find a leak. Funny that; I topped it up about a year ago, and it was fine for about a month, then it...

Hi All, Thanks to a silver haired lady who didn't stop to meet I have a minor bumper scuff to deal with, it is right on the corner and whilst I polished most of the damage away I am left with an area missing a small amount of paint but no so small to be able to touch in. Could anyone...
