A Gripe With My DS

[cyclone]

I use my AC about 3 times a year....

Move someplace warm, may I suggest Saudi Arabia.

Too warm perhaps?! a mate of mine was out there working for el-seif (or something like that) engineering and he couldnt cope with the heat!

Hey welcome to my world, he would use that AC there. "thank God I come home every 2 months"

and my bro's in the navy and was working in dubai for 6 months - he couldnt take the heat there either. he done a sky dive and said the best thing about it was being cold doing it!

I have a/c, Bluetooth, cruise control, auto lights and wipers...... but where us the cup holder???

I totally agree.. instead I got an arm rest I didn't want! It's always in the 'up' position, otherwise it affects my shifting gears, use of hand brake etc. Can't take it out though, as it's a lease car.. :-(

Starbucks has a lot to answer for..........!

You would think with the money Starbucks, Caffé Nero, and Costa Coffee make they would lobby to reach an average of lets say 5 cup holders per car

They need to try harder!!

By the way guys and girls, PLEASE DO NOT leave your a/c on. Don't worry about fuel consumption or emissions, you got much mire to lose. Air con gas expands below 4'C it can burst pipes if you use it at a low temp. Nothing wrong with using heaters without a/c in the winter. I will check owners manual, I know Ford warn about this, will post page number if its in ds3 handbook

I'm sure that using the quick windscreen demist/defrost feature on my Dsport switches on the a/c regardless of the outside temperature. Can't see that it aids any when it's minus 10C outside but definitely didn't burst any pipes last winter. One went in me garage but I suspect that was nowt to do with DS

Edit - hmmm maybe it does help if you use the recirculation function as well
