        <description><![CDATA[I have Ford Fiesta mk5 1.25 Zetec year 2000. Although it is meant to be of a 1999 model spec if you get me.<br /><br />
When I start up the car in the morning and the "heat dial" is on cold it blows lovely cold air. However, 10 mins or so into my journey when the car starts to heat up, the heat of the air that is blown out the vents gets very hot even when the dial is still on cold.<br /><br />
It has air conditioning but I never use it (its always turned off as I lose about 75% of the cars power when its on and it hard on the oul petroleum <img src="https://www.boards.ie/resources/emoji/lol.png" title=":D" alt=":D" height="20" /> ).<br /><br />
Anyone come across a problem like this or have any idea how to fix it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated..]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi I have a 2006 C1 with 85,000 km on the Clock.<br /><br />
Over the past while the clutch has not been working correctly, I got it adjusted 2 weeks ago as it was reving very high. Now when trying to get it into get into reverse it grinds and when changing up or down the gears I have to take it slow in order to change.<br /><br />
I bought a replacement clutch last week for €125 new &amp; was wondering if anyone knows anyone that would be willing to fit it &amp; how much it would cost me.<br /><br />
Thanks...]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I got a local mechanic on monday to replace both rear shock buffers and the big wishbone bushing on my 2005 VW Golf 1.9TDI mk5 as they were worn out,<br />
but now the car feels totally different.<br />
When I go over speed bumps the rear feels like it's hitting the bump a lot harder than before and when I go around coners the car feels very loose at the back and when I go around right bends the rear passageners wheels feels like it's pulling the car sideways.<br /><br />
I just wanted to ask<br />
1. is this normal because there was work done on the suspension and the rear wheels need to be aligned again<br /><br />
2. Is there adjustments the mechanic can do to reslove this issue.<br /><br />
3. Is this bad work by the machanic and should I go back and complain as there was no major parts removed and the car feels different than before the work was carried out.]]>
