Hi Everyone,

Marios here, 11 years after I traded in my first C6, I will be picking up a 2009 2.7HDi Exclusive in Nova Green.

Very excited!

Welcome Marios, there can't be many Nova Green C6 in the UK. I've only ever seen one with Dan at Wolsey House in Diss, and that was a few years ago.

Hi Dave, According to the seller, only 6 Nova Green made it to the UK originally and only 3 are left. Not sure where they got their data from.

I think it came from Wolsey House to them.

I have now picked up “Chloé” and driven the 200 miles home.

All good mechanically.

Slight concern that the aircon does not blow cool air ????

After a comfort break the cruise refused to function.

Brakes need looking at due to a slight squeak.

Otherwise it looks and drives beautifully.

On one side or both?

If one side, maybe a stuck flap issue, if both then it may need a regass, but only a test will see if it has a leak or worse, failed compressor/clutch

Thanks Dave. Seems to be on both sides though it does sound as though air may be getting stuck if that makes sense.

Quick update: today I went to the French Car Saturday breakfast organised by London & Surrey CCC. - Click Here -

The Tractions were out in force and beautiful. Chloé was the only C6. Met some lovely people.

Beforehand I’d popped into my local; kiwi fit to see what they might be able to do with the aircon. Upon hooking up, no pressure at all in the system so it will be going to get a more detailed diagnosis done elsewhere. It was a windy, noisy, warm drive home in 27 degree sunshine!!

That'll be a new condenser then!

Might not be, one of mine had a leaking valve, which once replaced, worked fine
