Mine blows ice cold, must have been regassed in Japan at some point.  The girlfriend often moans that she’s too cold when its been on a while!

Certainly does my friend, it is actually a myth that its always cold up here. The last mammoth died just before i was born and haggis can\'t survive at temperatures below 5 degrees... ;)

Take it you haven\'t discovered the temperature control knob yet then...:Giggle
FD or not FD? that is the question.

I like it cold, she just has to get used to it, goosebumps or no goosebumps! :Laugh

I think smarts was telling me that his was testd after regassing and the air coming out was 2C!!!  Mine is disconnected at the mo and I need to look at how to fit the rad in without interfering with the ducting I want for the rad.

Car gets very very hot (dark colours are bad in summer) but I\'ve found that as long as both windows are down thebuffeting is bearable (at up to 125mph) so should be fine for motorway cruising.

Yup - as Iain says, had mine re-done and it went from heating the cabin before the work to absolutely bloody freezing, which is a good thing of course.

It did cost close to the £200 mentioned above as it had old (and toxic??) gas in it so a few bits had to be replaced and the system flushed, but the engineer did report that when it was first working it was knocking out air at 2degrees (as it exits the vent of course, not in the rest of the car). Don\'t think i ever had it on full cold after that, no matter what the sun situation.

Si.

I can\'t remember the last time I had a car with air-con; they\'ve all been ripped out or just didn\'t work. :-) My 300zxTT had the heater matrix bypassed as well. In february it was more comfortable to take the roof off to demist the windows than to blow freezing air onto my feet. I must have looked crazy driving around with the roof off wearing full arctic kit (no joke!). I\'m glad the rex has got a heater in it, not that I intend to drive it this winter if I can help it.

Haha, don\'t get paid to be hard anymore (not sure I ever was anyhow?)  :) I\'m a fat, soft civvy these days.

You think drving around in a rex with the windows down is hot! You should try doing CPR in the back of an Ambulance with no air con and no windows to open! now that hot work.

Saying that, i\'m thinking of getting my air con sorted out soon. Maybe not this year, but at least for next years summer sun :D
