Agree with above, sadly Locke will not touch anything commercial as he said he has far too much work on just cars. Had some servicing done at Parkhams but then had to take it elsewhere as it needed the engine out to do oilcooler seals and it was too big a job for Parkhams. Ended going to pw...

There is a flat bar under the seat which can bend easily causing all sorts of alignment problems. They are overcomplicated in my opinion.. .. . And bloody heavy too. Just check everything is straight underneath

I a sport x bought new in 2013. 132000miles loaded to minimum 2700kg. Long term mpg is 30.5 Short journeys all day in the cold sees low 20s A run up to Hull from Northampton easily sees 38mpg... .. Managed 42.8 sat behind a truck. Couple of things to note.... They eat tyres if driven with...

Had something similar on my old vito (automatic) . Gutless for no apparent reason.... Turned out to be a faulty brake light switch on the pedal. Ecu thought the brake was also being pressed and so basically turned the turbo off.

Vito sport x 13 plate. Loaded up to 2800kg. Run this morning from Northampton to Grimsby .. . 41.6mpg mostly around 50mph On way home with no traffic 32.6mpg But on a short run or with lead right foot sub 20mpg is easily seen

The lower plastic brackets are available separately. They are strong but fairly brittle. Been through similar problem when the dealership smashed mine getting it off the ramp.

All this wireless talk is great. . . But if you have a pacemaker or similar fitted then you would be advised to stay off the roads. Imagine a cyclist with pacemaker falls off bike and lays on the road... Heat stops or goes into overdrive.

Yep... 639 vito v6 just ticked over 120000 today. Always fully loaded. Sounds/drives like it did when it had 10k on it.

Most concerned about the 810mls....refrigerant is amount is measured on grams not ml. Really what do you expect when you ask a part swapper to diagnose and fix something. You need someone who has an idea how it all works. Always take to an AC specialist.

About 20yrs ago in Morocco we had a ride in an old merc taxi. I commented how fresh the interior looked for an old cab..... It had a new interior the year before as it was worn out...a check of the odometer showed a very low milage......... It had Benn round the clock - over 1,000,000 km!! No...

Try calling Bret or Dave at BeeCool in kettering for a quote.

Try rs repairs based in Higham Ferrers He powder coated my brabus rims last year and they were perfect.

Thing I hate the most is...... The dealership..... The only good thing they have got going on is consistency. They consistently let me down.!

In variable displacement compressors it's normally mechanical. As the suction pressure rises, so does the angle of the plate....this them pumps more refrigerant and lowers the suction pressure until it balances out.

I think it's automatically switched by ambient temp. I have never had to 'switch' anything to clear mine.
