Seeing as you guys seem to be geniuses when it comes to Cupras i thought i would run this one by you... I was driving going up through the gears when suddenly as i tried to go in to 5th my revs shot up and the engine didn't respond to any gear changes. So for some reason gears will no longer...

Recently my heating has been playing up. It started when I removed the coolant reservoir cap to have a look at the coolant level when it was still hot. There was a hiss and some gurgling but the level was fine. Since then my heating seems to work fine when your driving, i.e over 2k rpm. But...

Have done a search but nothing conclusive. Got a weird problem on my 2002 PD130. When driving along, after the car has heated up, the heaters blow plenty of hot air as you would expect. However when you stop the car, and have it just idling the air gets colder until its blowing cold air! My...
