I've come to the conclusion that the climate control in my Cross has a mind of its own, and not in a good way.
For example, take one typical day earlier this week...
I'm driving to Norwich from home, it's mid-morning and the sun is shining brightly, the external temp gauge is showing 16c, it's already really warm in the cabin, yet the CC is pumping out warm air for most of the journey (30 miles). By the end of the journey the cabin is uncomfortably stuffy.
Later that day, driving home at 20.30, the external temp gauge is showing 11c, it's decidedly chilly in the cabin, but the CC is pumping out cold air, even though the engine is fully warmed up.
As an experiment, I didn't reach for the temperature control and turn it up, and when I got home the CC was still pumping out cold air, and it was still chilly in the cabin.
At all times, the settings on the CC were unchanged, at 21c and Auto.
Is this normal, or is mine b*ggered? This is my 6th car (at least) with CC, and none of them have behaved so randomly.
