Been up to Kendal today, and as the sun came up it was lovely, then as I approached Wigan it was pea soup
Got to M6 J35 and sun back out - Delivered into Kendal in the sun, and then back into the fog at J35 until I got past Wigan again
Then Scorchio again
Was a tad warm up the gym today I can tell ya

blloming hot in Worcestershire today. Aircon not working
I regassed a while back using a tin from Halfrauds as i couldnt hear the compressor kick in. For a while the compressor kicked in now it doesnt so i guess the gas has leaked out. Any one know how to trace a leak?

Re: Sun at last, (but will it last)?
When I had the same problem, everyone told me it would be the condenser, so I went to an independant auto electrical/aircon specialist and forked out about £40 for them to put some gunge in with green dye in it and trace the leak........
.....to the condenser.
It's not gauranteed to be this, but it is the 'usual suspect'.
