After noting a relatively severe misting problem over the last couple of days, affecting all windows and creeping down from the top, I checked all the usual suspects as a cause to no avail. Then cycled the re circ button, to be met with a nasty buzzing noise. Opps!


Turned the cc off straight away. Then pondered exactly where I'd poked all the gubbins for the Hk and mixer. Ermmmm.....


Yep. I'd pushed the box for the mixer up into the blend flap. .....Twonk!

That be why you don't do lectrickery then

[chrisgixer]

Is it the blend flap? Or re circ flap?

Mmmmwelllll.....

I did put the mixer in a box to protect it. Very wise of me I thought.

I'll let you into a little secret, but don't tell the others 

The constant ragging I'm giving it is clearly, slowly having an effect.  It will now redline in the first 3 gears (its not happy about it admittedly), and its power range has increased higher up the rev range.  There is still something very wrong, but slowly it's becoming a bit more eager.

Will it improve further, or will I bugger it up?

I'm glad you didn't shove it in my "container" into the recirc flap

You know when your next ragging it.... think about those lovely delicate swirl flaps that can't fully open as the inlet is clogged with sticky sooty yucky stuff.

Just a thought like, don't dwell on it!

I dislike the car enough, if it did let go, apart from the minor inconvenience of getting home, I wouldn't be overly concerned

I have visions of seeing it dumped in a ditch on one of my journeys through your part of the World.

Its frequently abandoned in one of the carparks in town.  The exciting thing for me is trying to remember which one
