Leaks & Noises
on a very short journey home i put the ac on full as windows were very steamy and within 2 minutes i smelled a burning rubber or burning hair smell ...i stopped car and it was not from outside and i lifted bonnet and there was no smell from engine .....worried about using car tomorrow but could it just be a simple thing with ac? anyone please? ps no high heat indicated from engine either.

Being a 2007 , is car not still under warranty ? If so , a trip to dealers to let them see/ smell fault might be best bet . Could be heater motor, slight coolant leak or other possibilites .

im kinda worried as i was due a service and havent done it... it was serviced last year but not as yet this year...does it have to be done strictly within year or will i get away with a couple of months late and still be ok on warranty? money is a prob

Understand money being tight ,especially at this time of year with Christmas on the way .To get any warranty work carried out you need to keep sevicing up to date . Speak to them nicely about not managing to get car in beforehand as you needed car and you will probably be o.k .With winter approaching , safer to get serviced / antifreeze checked etc .especially with problem related to heater .
