Default Air Con

The FAQ says to use the aircon regularly to stop the seals drying out. Does that mean selecting "cold" or does running it on warm/hot do the same job. Just wondered as I'm not using the car so much so giving it a 5 minute blast at the end of each ride out-on hot of course!

Air conditioning is very useful in the winter at removing any condensation (hence the auto on in the S I suppose when airflow setting is on de-mist). I use the A/C alot to assist with this in any car I drive in the winter.

Yes my wifes BM clears well with AC on and I guessed that the compressor bit must still work when on warm-otherwise you would see no change. With the S, as we only drive it with the roof down AC and demisting is not an issue. Thanks for clearing that up anyway.

My AC gets a good work out but it's only been in the last month that I've been able to see what the heating is like!

Very good!

Completely fries my feet and I now make sure I have a jacket or fleece in the car for my top.
