Hi All, thanks for the welcome and advice its much appreciated. I don't know what all the fuss is about regarding reliability, in three weeks its never let me down once !
Fortunately the car has been well maintained and looked after and everything works apart from the fabled FBH ! not sure if I have one or not though after reading various forum post. I have the remote receiver in the back and the menu on the touch screen for manual heat and manual vent along with the timed control to switch on at a predetermined time but it blows for a second or two then just switches off ! Living in the North it would be a nice thing to have I must admit.
