So as chronicled in my other posts today I joined Towmaster and Co on the weekend. It was quite cool so never worried too much about the AC but its always been an issue with the car and was something on my "list of things" to address. Twas never cold, the dash vents blew mildy cool air and the demister vents melted my face off.

Anyway on the way home I thought I'd have another play seeing as though the condenser should get heaps of air at the spirited fashion I was driving. Turn on AC, nope still warm. I'd had it gassed when the AC got retrofitted so I figured I'd either lost all gas with a leak or.......

Then I remembered about this weird little round dial that was mounted way up under the underside of the dash that I assumed at the time (12mths ago) was a speed control for the wipers. Its so far hidden you'd never see it unless you'd pulled the dash apart which I'd done. I'd earlier quizzed DSC and their AC man about the poor performing AC and no one ever mentioned this little dial. Why would they. I have driven in the rain but not thought of using it until on Sunday I went......THERMOFREEKINSTAT CONTROLLER!!!

Twisted the little bugger all the way round and my face froze off. Slight exaggeration but you get my drift. Lesson learnt. Be aware of knobs!!!

Happy little camper now.
