Hi,

I have a mrk 2 mx-5. I had a car crash into my drivers side front pannel and door. It has recently been sent off for repair at an accident repair centre as has had a new pannel put in. Since it has come back however, it seems to have developed some wierd problems which it never had before!

Firstly, it seems that my heating no longer works in the car and the rear heated screen button is no longer working either. Also my right headlight is dimmer than my left one. I have checked the fuses which all seem fine.

In addition to this it also seems to be vearing to the left slightly, particulary when going up hill.

Can anyone shed any light on this slightly bizzare set of issues?

thanks

Munter

You need to list all the faults and take it back to the repairer, and tell them to call you when they have fixed the car properly. And tell your insurance company/your accident management company.

Have your hazard lights stopped working too & your passenger side electric window, if so the multiplug behind the passenger side dashboard has become undone (or may be slightly undone).

Your car is supposed to pull very slightly too the left, but perhaps get them to check the tracking, also get them to check that all the multiplugs are still connected as they can pop open when you have a knock on the mk2's
