Struth. I've obviously either a/ had rubbish in my previous experiences or b/ am just plain lucky. My CC AC works. Just fine. 21deg is enough to send you for a fur coat. It's probably the best Ford I've owned for knock down time, and I've learned to operate it it to demist, and work split level, heat my feet in winter, and do all sorts of clever things that are mentioned in the operating manual. It's worth a read sometime.... Hmmmmm.... Must have been a Tuesday build.
