Been looking at aux air con as it has been so hot here.
« on: 18 May 2012, 16:25:28 »
Don't laugh it has been in the mid/high 30's. 8) 8)

Been looking for something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Boat-Mini-Fan-Air-Cooler-12V-Cigarette-Lighter-1-/310342131205?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Touring_Travel&hash=item4841d51e05

Expensive? Not really - what price for comfort and he has sold four already! :y :y :y

I take it your air con is less than perfect.  ;) ;)

Although the interior fan will tend to run at higher speeds, my car does stay quite cool even in higher temps ie in French France the other year, it was in the high 30's & it still coped.  :y :y

It is a Vitara. The whole car is less than perfect! Apart from having two cupholders which are marvellous, I struggle to think of anything better than an Omega. Wait fuel consumption is far better. It does however charge around olive groves pulling a trailer uphill something that the Omega was less than comfortable with! The windows are so big that it is like sitting in Kew gardens greenhouse.What chance does air con have. No I need one of those fans as well. :y

You are lucky, I only feel in control when I have one foot on the clutch and the other on the brake. It apparently has five gears , only ever used three. Plenty fast enough. ;D ;D

That's a great product Varche, and as Andy says you should buy a spare as he's bound to be sold out when you need another!  ::)

I'm sure if you pop down to your local Bankia they'll lend you the cash no problem and probably in Pesetas if you ask really nicely!!!  :)
