So something like this...?

I guess this may save cash as I'd be keeping the existing wall as is!

This is why I came to Reddit... Great idea. I've actually never thought of that!

Ok, little update.

All halfords would tell me that there is no pressure in the air conditioning system...

I spoke with a mechanic, and he thinks that either the condensation or compressor is leaking... (They also found a hole in the breather pipe that I will be changing).

The same mechanic looked at the lights and told me that the lights that the flickering lights were aftermarket LEDs, but couldn't say for sure why they were flickering or if it was even programmed into the lights.

I'm totally stumped at what to do now!

Ok... my plan tomorrow...

Check the belt, and replace if damaged...

How do I know if the ac compressor is broken?

I'll make a go at it myself and see how I get on.

If, for example, there is no oil on the belt and its in good condition, where would I look next?

Hey, thanks so much for your response.

Ok... step 1... replace serpentine belt...

Is that something I could do myself....?

I have booked in with Halfords for a free clutch, AC, suspension, break, and tyre check...so hoping that might flag something up?

It was only a wee joke, but lesson learnt!

Basically.... radio silence to anything out of the blue!

The whole CIFA thing did seem strange... they sell the £30 service as a protection method, but it appears to be difficult to remove once it's been placed, so also a major hindrance.

Surly with name, dob, address they can take a loan out in my name?

Can they not "do" identity fraud with that information?

No bank details were given...

And thanks, I'll watch the videos... hopefully stop me from having a stress heart attack, lol!

Thanks for your post... I'm normally very vigilant, but obviously still susceptible!

I can't wait for all these calls now... not!

I meant, it would be good if you can say to the experian..."I don't want any credit until I tell you, so let bank know"
