Hi Tim,

From the sound of it, your AC is not operating correctly.

I just did a Home to Birmingham & back trip today, about 230 miles round trip. It was about 20'C (outside)(much hotter inside) on the way back, so I put the AC on, set at 19'C and after a short while the temp dropped and the fan speed slowed down, so I then just turned the AC off.

When I first got the car, I did a hygrometer test on it, and set at 'lo' the temp at the vent dropped to a tad over 10'C with at the time, 57%RH.

I should get it into the dealers to get them to check it.

*just a thought* when you have had your AC on, have you let the car idle and had a look to see if you get any 'condense drain' on the floor?
