Bet there's a few side streets and corners to be slowed / sped up for :cool:

I travel 3 streets :)

Do me a favour and just read this in light of what you wrote above...

Grasped the concept perfectly. It proved very poor in execution.. Just like their poorly mounted reverse camera, and screen which glares out easily..

See in my line of work - I get to balance my exposure to different vehicles... And the 2 with the best Hevac systems are the Fords and the LR.

In hot conditions had many a Toyo Hevac give up, or struggle to even remotely handle the task.

Regardless. If you are unable to understand and utilise the vehicle functions as provided - and the concept of Hevac systems causes confusion and frequent fiddling with your knob by you and your passenger then I would suggest further exploration of vehicle features prior to future purchases may prevent the obvious frustrations such an "oversight" has caused to your motoring pleasure.

Hahaha.

Just figured it out. You park on a solid driveway.
I park above soil... I'm therefore hypothesising that my engine is a bit colder in the morning.

As for walking - 0.7c here when I left for work.... I often take the motorbike - that wakes me up!

I will try to take on the idea of running the aircon but I'm tighter than a fishes freckle and I always think about fuel economy.

I try to run both the front aircon occasionally to keep the seals in good knick, and the rear aircon less often for the same reason. Also when I have the Engel in the back. Makes me twitchy though thinking of all those 5 cent pieces being burned away even though it's cheaper than rennos on the compressors.

Makes no difference on fuel economy and besides the heater works through the aircon anyway, it's climate control, so it's on or off, well as far as I know it works this way.

Lol. A true D4 owner, if there ever was one. :D

Just remember the money you are saving on compressor repairs.

SWMBO has been twisting my knob, and I've been getting far too hot in the car. At times, I thought the air-con wasn't working at all. :twisted: :wasntme:

There is NOTHING I can say to this that won't get me in trouble.

:cool:
