Battlebus aircon...
« on: 11 May 2014, 18:04:19 »

...fixed (thanks to a member, you know who you are :y)

Only, with the compressor now running, its had a detrimental effect on power ;D.  I started out this morning with the FC reading 43mpg, its now at about 36mpg, although a strong headwind didn't help ;D

One of my complaints of the car was ventilation (or apparent lack of).  It seems much less of an issue with the AC on. So that's another problem out of the way.

Its possible.  I'd much rather take an Omega, for the comfort factor, but this is a relatively short trip, and the Battlebus will give more room and more ground clearance on the ferry ::)

Bah! not a problem. Done the ferry plenty of times in the roller skate, although in the foot-and-mouth days the shouty little gallic retard in Calais didn't take kindly to me refusing to go through the sheep dip trough, despite just having waved one of his own in a Porsche round the side of it. Still, I won that standoff. ;D I had plenty of time on my hands, and he had a ferry of irate brits to unload. ;D
