  1. Hey, good to see another Norwich boy on here.

     

    07731 125979 - Ring this guy, his names Graham. He does work on all my cars, including my 350. He's a one man band local mechanic with very reasonable labour charges (about £30 an hour)

     

    Tell him Alex Witham with the 350 sent you.

  2. When the aircon button is pressed with the car already starting, should you visibly see the air con compressor clutch moving, as when I press the air con button the compressor does nothing and there's no noise or visible change to the compressor, the only thing symbolising the air-con is on is the slight rise in RPM and the fan kicking in.

     

    Thanks

  3. Chrome and Firefox aren't showing the pics for me, I've cleared cache and history on both browsers.

     

    Firefox is saying 'posted image' and it allows me to click it, but doesn't let me view the image.

    Chrome just shows nothing at all :surrender:

  4. First car, 1.6TDCI, great car, amazingly economical after a remap, £30 road tax.

    Third Car, the track bike workhorse, needed it to tow and eat up the miles. I'd have another of these for sure.

    Fourth car and current daily driver, love this car but will be sold once I can comfortably get back on 2 wheels after a heavy crash in Spain on the GSXR.

  5. Ok Guys, car was booked for a recharge and anti-bac today but was advised that I have a fault, the chap seemed sure it was a sensor or other electrical problem...but he didn't fill me with confidence that he knew what he was talking about.

     

    The aircon light illuminates and the RPM increases when the air con button is pressed. The air con is warm so clearly there's an issue somewhere.

     

    Presumably it's a leak, but could anyone give me some tips on diagnosing as Nissan want £96 an hour to diagnose the fault and paying <>£50 for a leak test at a kwik-fit or similar seems a big throw out to get to the cause without resolving the issue. I know a dye test is probably best but wanted to get some opinions and thoughts on home diagnoses unless a professional diagnoses is required to pin-point the fault.

     

    Cheers

  6. £100 all in is around 2 hours labour so it's not all that bad, you could probably do it yourself if you have the right tools but if a nut is seized on you might need to grind it off or use a bit of heat to get it off.

     

    If it was my car, I'd do it myself - but if you can't be arsed and have £100 kicked about then get it done at your local garage.
