    Engine fans constantly running

    Report back from the garage, it’s the Aircon pressure switch and a couple of seals which have failed. Stick in a regas and it’s all good to go for around £200

    Engine fans constantly running

    A further development today, as it’s been a bit warmer I turned the air con down to cold (it’s always on but at about 17) and it wasn’t really blowing cold at all, could well be related to the engine fan issues.

    Air conditioning problems

    Car went to the MB centre in Nottingham today. No leaks and the gas was ok. The problem was the motor flaps. Basically they were all over the place so the air was chilled but not getting to the cabin correctly. All seems fine now
