Hello,
Just put a deposit down on a BN 1.2 Lounge, which was sitting at the dealer as result of a cancelled order. It has a good spec, with red leather interior. But not the climate control that I wanted. However, waiting three months or more swayed me to go for this one. Now I have to wait for the scrappage paperwork, that the dealer says will take 4 weeks (anybody know whether that is true?).
I have had cars with climate control for the last several years, before that I had cars with a/c. Those used to work with a button to switch the a/c on or off. So it was blowing ice cold until you froze, then switch off until you boil, then switch on until you froze again. Not ideal.
Plus side was that in a car with a small engine (I once drove a black Pug 205, not ideal in the summer sun) you could switch the a/c off for overtakes. Which might be relevant in a 1.2 500
So my question is, does the a/c in the 500 exhibit this behaviour as well? Or does it get regulated with the warm/cold dial? The dealer was certain it did, but when pressed he didn't know the actual workings, whether there was a sensor for air temp that would kick the a/c on/off.
