Air Con, sunroofs and the choice between the two. It's too hot.

So who has been sweating it up in their non AC Lude?

It is pretty uncomfortable when you burn yourself on leather but yeah, I'm glad air con cools quickly ;)

Yeah that is a problem for me too. I need to get one of those taxi beaded seat covers :lol:


I saw my local Honda is offering AC re-gassing for £40.

Had both windows down on the 3rd gen coming back from legoland yesterday. Anything over 70mph (not that I went that fast :? ) required Stace to put her window up though as Max would get blown away :lol:

Definately going to be looking quite indepth into venting the hot air out of the project though, as I really am bad at handling the heat :roll:

Had the A/C re-gassed last year. Lurrrvly :mrgreen:
That said, if I don't put the sun shade in the windscreen, I can't drive for about 10 minutes as I can't touch my EK9 knob (snigger)
