    Hi,

    Many thanks Michael; yes air con and windows open use more fuel; we've run cars for years not fitted with air con and this morning whilst driving to and from the dealersip I only had the fan running but the heat was still oppressive; I've just returned from taking the car on a hot run to check the air con and it now works perfectly; the air con makes a tremendous difference and although I'm a tight Yorkshireman I don't mind spending the bit extra to run the air con during a very rare hot summer; I think the problem might have been a shock to actually switch it on; I'm still going to take it in for inspection. Our car is a Skoda Yeti 2.0L diesel 2016 SE L and we love it; it's been main dealer serviced from new and it's a delight to own and drive. :dbgrtmb::biggrin::yes:

    At the moment it's 27C and feels extremely hot; I'm not working outdoors which feels strange because I'm always busy. :phew: I've finally caught up with jobs it's only taken 35 years living here so I've not been hanging around lazy.

    Kind regards, Colin.

              That is obviously in the sun, it is shade temps that count.

                    I've been out all afternoon, but when I left at 1pm it was 33, my maximum minimum thermometer has hit 36c at some point this afternoon,,that's the highest I've had on that thermometer since the record breaking day a couple of weeks ago.
                    It's 31c now and dropping.

                      Hi,

                      Jumper on now @wiseowl next week might be waterproofs and waders. :biggrin::heehee:

                      27C at the moment feeling hot indoors; I could stand another six months of this to make up for some I've missed for many years.

                      Kind regards, Colin.

                        Here's a tip. When using the air-conditioning, also switch your ventilation to the recirculation mode. It means your aircon isn't working hard to cool warm air from outside, because it's mostly just recirculating already cooled air inside.

                            It has been ridiculously hot today and even with a breeze blowing it was unbearable, it felt like someone pointing a hair dryer at you :frown: :frown:
