Re: Springs - is this true....?

True I am afraid, I had to change both springs after 1 went, the sports ones are BMW only.  To make things worse, one of my shocks was leaking (apparently a result of british roads according to BMW) and a shock was £450 + fitting for 1....!

Re: My aircon worries.....

After an hour the Indy regassed again and so far still cold.  They had run out of dye so if there is a leak I can take it back and they will run some through it and repair.  Thank him upstairs that it was not a condenser or compressor.  New favourite Indy!!

Cheers AWJ.  Do you think a dealer can plug it in and read a fault or will it need stripping to find out what is wrong?!  Could be pricey..........

My aircon worries.....

Hi guys, picked up a 2007 3.0d se with Sports spec from my sister. She has had the aircon charged twice and it is still cold. Unfortunately no idea of what the pressure was like before the second fill. When I turn the aircon on nothing happens and I cannot hear / feel any pumps or slight load on the ...
