Folks...haven't had chance to do much about this for one reason or another, but re-reading the posts last night jogged my memory about the little fan in the dashboard. Mine had been noisy for a while and as you know they get choked with fluff. I blew it out a couple of months ago with an air duster and then gave it a shot of WD40 (maybe not the finest engineering solution, but no time for anything else). This stopped its irritating buzz, but I wondered last night if the fan had maybe stopped working. I cycled the ignition (which kicks the fan into life for a while), then gently poked the plastic extension from an aerosol can down the fan duct. Hmmm. No clatter from the fan. Waggled the extension around a bit, and now the fan is definitely running even if it wasn't before. Today the problem seems to be fixed - i.e. no icy blast after 30 minutes running, but then again, the weather has warmed up a bit here in the UK. Afraid we're going to have to wait and see. I hope it provides a fix, as it's one hell of a lot cheaper than open heart surgery on the ACC system!
