Well, my mission of mercy, involving taking a good friend to LGW this morning so she could get to her grandad's funeral in Banjul turned into a mission of despair. Got there, no problem, but on way back just past the M4 the "Electrical consumers switched off" message appeared - we stopped...

I see there have been a few posts on this lately, well here is my problem: The car is almost solely used for longish trips, motorway, etc. and the temp is always a couple of hairs above 80 deg. That is, until stopped by roadworks and the like. When stopped, the temp will rise to 110 deg or...
