    Front seat lever issue

    Martijn, Just to clarify my issue, the seat lever goes down OK but as I tilt the "seat back" forward the seat does not move automatically forward.

    Gransport Replacing Air conditioning compressor

    Replacing the air conditioning compressor took me under 5 hrs which did include breakfast. Replacing the compressor does not require the removal of the exhaust manifold or the radiator fan assembly either. This is what I did. 1. The day before, I got a mobile car air conditioning mechanic...
