Heater/air dial in car
1,2,4 speed work fine
But no 3 doesn't ! Nothing comes out?
Any ideas? Might seem trivial but no4 is very loud
And no2 isn't strong enough at times
So could really do with a no3!

No hope for her, I'd say BSM. Sounds like a write off. Might get a few quid for scrappage maybe.Unhappy

It could be a resistor or rheostat problem, I wouldn't be 100% but I found this, you can do it yourself

Failing that go with H2H

How big is the leak? Just a bit of steam or can you see water/coolant pouring out when it's standing?

Old school quick fix, break an egg into coolant resivoir. There are "leak finder" additives that you can buy in a motor factors but I've heard they can sometimes do more harm than good.

I keep losing air pressure in the tyre of the same wheel of my car (front wheel.of driver side). First time I just filled it with air every few days then eventually got the tyre changed. On the second tyre the same thing started happening again straight away. Didn't get around to getting them to look at it when I got a legit puncture and it was beyond repair. Now.I got the new one last week and now again tonight tyre was basically flat. This coincidence, something wrong with the alloy, spring, etc? Cheers

Either valve fcuked (unlikely if it is a new tyre) or losing air through the alloy wheel, it may have a buckle, or if it is an older car, may have started to rust & become perforated. There are plenty alloy specialists about who should be able to sort that, or at least tell you ya need a new wheel.
