Makes me wonder if it is  because the loose hoses, leaking etc… About the air-con, I start the engine one morning and at first, it starts only after few attempt and that is when black smoke puff out from the hood. I then immediately turned off the engine and pop up the hood to check and nothing seems wrong until I notice the air-con belt is gone! I send it to the same Mechanic and he said the compressor is jammed and need to change the whole air-con components. Since it takes two days to do the repair (according to the mechanic) and the price quite costly... I just leave it as it is.I supposed manual transmission is quite odd for beamers...</blockquote>
