What next?
Before I go any further I love my CDTi but lately it seems to be throwing tantrums. Nothing big just annoying little things. First the O/S rear tyre kept getting soft which I fixed by having it taken off, cleaned and sealer put on the rim. Ditto the N/S front which despite all my efforts I can't cure. My fitter tells me the alloy must be porous. Anyone got a spare forked wheel?
Next my key fob refused to open the car, just the once. No matter what I tried (including the put it under your chin trick) worked. Now it is fine again. Rear screen heat was next. All the lights come on but no worky. Ditto the heated seats. Had the A/C regassed in the summer but must have a leak as that has packed up again which is very annoying when I have my wet dog in the back. Strangely though all these things have happened since I went to look at a Mazda 6 tourer. Do you think she is upset?

Yeah I think it'll look good too, yours looks cool
I was just going to fix or replace the original but got a ZT one in the right colour for a good price. I'd actually gone to the breakers to get a 75 one but it wasn't as good as the ZT one
