i likes it in me face. and in really hot weather when in me shorts i like it on me legs too.  8-)

sadly this doesn't happen me new gls estate. It aint got posh climate control (a subject for later...)  just dially blue/red knobs and a speed one that all seem to do their job. and a position one that does naff all. the air only comes out by the windscreen!

any idea why no air comes out of the facia vents or the leg vents?  :-/

if i switch the air con on, then the air gets cold but still only from the same place!! kinda messes up the fuel consumption too!

as does the alternative method of cooling which mrs dippy enjoys.... opening the windows  

ps
a separate project for another time but any idea how tricky it is to swap dially knobs for climate control? is it just a panel swap or are there trickier things involved?!!

Dave,

An easy test for you.

Sit quietly in the car, engine running (no music!)

Tun the dial on to feet or face, and put your ear to the dash. You're listning for a hiss.

If you hear one, a vacc pipe has come adrift behind the panel.

I had the same prob myself on this very car, and fixed it once (Its in an earlier post) so I suspect that Vacc pipe has popped out again.

Cheers
James

She is tidy for her age, and common Omega niggles aside, fundementally sound.

But as I said she's more of a practical working car, than a show car

Glad you're enjoying the gas - it's a different story at £1.20 a litre
