Does the aircon still work :-P

Yep, give the,AC a good blast once a month anyway just to keep things lubed up. 

Freeking sods law, packed up yesterday, was working fine in the morning, blows ambient hot now.

All 3 of mine are lovely and cool .

Did I mention, though, it should be the law that all stupidly leather clad seats should have a cooling facility.  I actually find it make leather seats usable...

I use the sunroof all year round, and it's one of the extra features of an Elite I wouldn't do without. Tonight was a good example; with the outside temperature at 20(which is what I have the CC set to) there was a nice supply of fresh air as I wafted along the M2 at 75mph.


I like the climate control too, but it's more useful on cold damp days or when the temperature is above 25.

Is that will the blind open or closed?

you can't have the roof open and the blind closed!

Sunrooves are useful for letting all the hot air out when the car has been parked up for a while on a sunny day.

TB doth protest too much.

I can't say the Elite leather, or any car after that, has given me the 'back sweats' on a hot day.

Now, the 1970s vinyl in my Austin Allegro .. that could make you sweat even if you were driving the thing in the middle of winter, I swear.


The Skoda has a 'panoramic sun roof' - basically the whole roof is glass - and I can't say I'd have specced it if it wasn't an ex-dealer car, especially not as a £1200 option! I almost never open it, or the windows for that matter.
Heck if you open the windows and hit 50mph the car bugs you with a message on the dash to close them for increased fuel efficiency..

leather in mine. and vynil in my viva all give me back sweats .hot in summer ,freezing in winter thats why i was after some normal cloth sests for mine but nobody has any . as for sunroofs .total waste of time in my opinion.like was mentioned earlier you get wind buffeting if not tilted at speed ,and they are an invitation for rust especially on older cars such as carltons ,opel mantas etc.where the frame is welded up onto the roof skin.i suppose its all personal taste

Ahem...

You can have the roof raised with the blind closed

I would have written that as 'tilted' not open, but I do see your point

[Doctor Gollum]

That's the word

[tidla]

Sunroofs are good in the sunshine.

Not so good when there still open and it pishes down

Or if your retarded supplying dealer, on its first ever service, puts your £75k BMW through an automated carwash with the sunroof open.

Oh how I laughed, but bro was very, very cross.

[BazaJT]

I'd not have been happy with them bunging it through an automated car wash sunroof open or not!!!

Sorry Nick, that's what I meant tilited. Do you keep the blind closed on tilited?
