So, what doesn't work on your car?

Ford Puma 2001

1. Passenger electric window doesn't go up or down.

Will get this fixed when I take it in for servicing.

2004 Lexus IS300

One of my screen wash nozzles is blocked, tried a pin and blowing air down it but still doesn't wanna spray.

Because I've been in other cars with AC and don't really see it as a deal breaker

Most people only use AC when they want ice cold air in the hot summer periods and never any time else. I'm betting those drivers weren't using it properly

Unfortunately I have to use it in colder weather too as it prevents the windows from fogging up thanks to pillarless doors.

Christ where to start?

Rear window demister doesn't work. Suspect relay but can't be arsed to change it.
Aircon has never worked since I got it. Considering it's a £300+ fix I'll manage without it.
Front bumper has a large crack down the middle and is held together by tape
Front radiator fans are on all the time.
Front foglight doesn't work, I removed the other front foglight.
Bulbs behind the temp display on the centre console are gone.

Nothing unfortunate about that? As mentioned above, I leave mine on 24/7 and simply adjust the climate temp to whatever is comfortable, 21, 24, 18 etc. AC isn't just for cooling, it works even better when used in normal conditions too.

I don't have climate unfortunately.
I'm forever fiddling with the temperature as it does get rather cold with the AC on in the mornings. Heated seats is a massive bonus though.

Nothing, not one single thing is wrong with the car, eletrically or mechanically. (at the mo)

Same here.

2003 Hyundai Elantra. Other than the crank sensor and wiper mechanism I don't seem able to kill it, despite torturing it (and by extension, myself) with a 3000 mile a month commute since June.

Not going to say, might jinx it

gbradders123 · 13 Sep 2011 at 00:13

306 d turbo,

well the turbo for a start, makes a nasty sound, and lots of oily exhaust smoke!
heater fan
radiator leaks
air filter has dropped off
and couple of bushes have gone on the front suspention.

my motivation for mechanicing on nasty cars is a bit lapse, will have to get on it this week i suppose.

Rover 75 CDTi Connoisseur 130

The handling is a little loose, due to it being on 171k and on it's original shocks and springs.

Surprisingly, that's it! Ice cold dual zone climate, all toys work, I'm waiting for something big to fall off.

I saw the thread title and thought HA, my old derv shed will have loads wrong with it that I haven't got round to fixing...

So there's..... erm
erm...
Christ, there must be something I haven't fixed that needs fixing, I'm so lazy with my own gear.... erm.

Oh I got one, the LCD display on the stereo is a bit iffy.

That's IT!

Damn, just remembered the ashtray doesn't stay closed, but I've removed it so it doesn't count

My 2001 CTR has a slightly iffy bulb connector on the OS brake light, but that's it.

Simon · 13 Sep 2011 at 01:12

My ABS doesn't work

I broke the sensor changing the wheel hub. £200 from Honda so waiting for a cheap one to turn up

Sin_Chase · 13 Sep 2011 at 01:59

Sometimes my S2000 radio door gets stuck from heat expansion and requires some encouragement.

Fiat Stilo.

Well i was feeling quite smug yesterday reading about all these problems with your cars when mine is working perfectly, but....

Just been out to fill the washers etc up, pulled the bonnet catch and the cable snapped.

I am now in a world of misery :mad:

cosworth:
the engine
the gearbox
the ECU

mainly coz it doesn't have them.

on my focus it has developed a rather worrying problem of that it has fuel starvation when it gets to just below quarter of a tank. Put £30 in and it's better but still happens (put foot down a lot and get to 4000 rpm it starts hsitating....). The effect of me putting fuel in i guess means it's not the coils breaking down under load but a sensor on the tank going wrong? :confused:
