Hi
Have been viewing this very useful forum for a while and finally acquired a 1997 Zenith Blue C4 with 46K miles 3 weeks ago.
It now has a few more miles though because I had the car transported down to Brescia to follow the Mille Miglia, and then drove the car home with a friend via Switzerland. During the 1700 mile trip had a few minor issues that I would appreciate advice on.
The indicator relays seem almost silent. Easy to leave on. Is this normal or should there be a decent clicking sound?
The a/c did not work. Referred to the handbook and tried numerous combinations of switches to no avail. Do not think it is a simple case of regassing because have a bill from the previous owner for that not long ago. Have searched the internet and presume my best course of action is to leak test and then expect to replace the condenser or evaporator?
The passenger side window switch broke leaving the window down. After a bit of research, found that the window could be raised by swapping the two remaining switches around etc. My question is, where should I purchase a replacement from? OEM or reproduction part?
Seem to have a bit of a creak from the lower front windscreen. From searching the forums it would seem to be a common problem. Any quick solution to this, or is it a case of living with it until screen needs replacing?
The rear reflector was off the other day and although no one will see, I noticed the at steel brackets behind were a little corroded. They are riveted onto the bumper. I presume I can just drill these out and refresh them by sand blasting and plating and then riveting them back on. Any better suggestions (apart from not touching them)?
Many thanks for the advice in advance.
