Oslo - Scotland part 1

Now 7 days and about 1600 km into my Oslo - Scotland trip with the C1. Previous years I’ve taken the C1 to the North Cape, Switzerlamd, Istanbul, the Saharan desert, and this year the goal is a round-trip of Britain. Like last year we had a blast in Amsterdam, before heading into Belgium, France and then the UK. Driving on the right is a challenging but rewarding adventure. I also got to see two Spitfires in Dover which I think has been a childhood dream. We’re tent-camping down the south coast before heading to Wales, Ireland and eventually Scotland - watching the world cup as we go and rooting for Norway. Found a pub for the evening to see how we beat Brazil. C1 still going strong, and weather is on our side. This year we’re also joined by some friends in their Rav4 (much worse car). I’ll post as we go!

Enjoy your citybug summer!

Yaris 2009 1L , 1KR FE engine , which engine oil is the best ?

I read the manual and the manual says preferred oil is 0w20 but when I go to buy oil from Halfords or any website. It says 5W-30. Which one should I buy ?

Also does the brand of the oil matter ? , is the cheapest option fine ?

Sunroofs

I've seen in this video that a Peugeot 107 has a cloth sunroof, I thought this was strange and couldn't find any more examples of it online so I thought I would share.

I've seen in a brochure for Citroen c1s that there was an optional sunroof but I've also never seen an example of this.

If you have a sunroof or have any photos of them id love to see them!

A/C doesnt work peugeot 107 2007

Hi!

I have a 2007 Peugeot 107 (1.0 petrol). Because of the recent hot weather, I decided it was finally time to recharge the A/C. After the mechanic recharged it, he asked me to switch the A/C on, but that’s where the problem started.

The A/C button doesn’t respond at all and the indicator light never comes on. It was already like this when I bought the car.

I checked all the fuses under the steering wheel and they all seem to be fine. Then I removed the trim to access the A/C switch and its connector.

Using a multimeter set to 20V DC, I checked the connector pins one by one:

●	Pin 1: 0V

●	Pin 2: 12V

●	Pin 3: 0V

●	Pin 4: empty (no terminal)

After that, I tested the A/C switch itself. I set the multimeter to 200 Ω and checked every possible combination of the switch pins. In every case the meter showed OL/“1” (open circuit), even while pressing the button.

Is it possible that the A/C switch is simply faulty, which is why I can’t turn the A/C on?

Is there any safe way to activate the A/C without using the switch, just for testing? Or is there something else I should check first?

I’m completely new to car electrics, so if I’ve misunderstood something or done anything silly, I apologize in advance. Thanks for any advice!

Could this chafing of the rear drum cause a sound similar to an off-road tyre at 35+ mph (changing in frequency with speed like an off-road tyre)

I thought my wheel bearing was going but the front left spun fine but the build-up of rust on the rear left drum is chafing and causes a noticeable resistance when spinning the rear wheel. The sound is from the left side but it becomes quieter when turning left.
