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 :lol: :lol: :lol:

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. :roll:

It's not gauranteed to be this, but it is the 'usual suspect'.
