Has anyone got theirs fixed yet? My problem has been traced to the pipes running down the sill (they think). Unfortunately my sills are full of expanding foam for some reason :x so its not so easy a job. Just been quoted £815 to replace the pipes :shock: :shock: £400 parts, £285 labour, plus VAT..... After the drive shaft going last month I'm seriously wondering whether small plastic cars are worth the hassle

cambell , Did ali take care of your aircon ?

I was gonna just leave it till next summer , though been wondering if this could lead to more damage being done (seals perishing n stuff)

Things are mounting up again :( , due a service soon I think , need tyres all round (might get by till end of summer and replace with cheap "winter tyre") and still have the crack at rear .

Was nearly looking at selling few weeks ago as i had potential land for new build, but it fell through. Prob would be out around 3k before I could sell!
