How Do.
Somehow the Father-in-law has ended up talking me into a car swap for a few weeks, he's doing some motorway miles so took my HDi for a while to save fuel. Also he knows his car has plenty of issues I won't stand for and will end up fixing during my time with it.
Only ever briefly owned a Xsara for a few days a few years back so not worked on on before. So will list the problems I've picked up on and maybe people could give me some pointers of where to start please?
Drivers seat: Doesn't move back or forward and drops everytime you sit on it? Any ideas where to look before removing seat from car?
Rear Wiper: Not working
Passenger door: Central locking works on key but not on remote
Boot: Only opens when your pressing remote button and boot handle / switch and yanking at same time.
Clutch: Not done one before and not got a Haynes for it either. Any parts of job that are a total pita?
Totally Gutless and drinks petrol? He let slip before it likely hasn't been serviced in 1.5-2years so that'll get done but I would have expected it to be a bit...... better than it actually is. Gona run it on v-power for a bit see if it helps anything through.
