Another AC Auto fan here. Mine is set at 20 degrees in winter at 19 degrees in summer. I occasionally need to use the demist in cold weather, at start up but only for a couple of minutes. The same applied to my 05 1.8 NA when I had it. "She" is occasionally tempted to fiddle with it but a stern "Leave it!" usually does the trick!

I usually run about with my Aircon off - apart from the summer & giving it a run a couple of times a week to keep things in working order. My compressor whines so I'd like to prolong it's life before I have to spend on that.
Concerning though that so many members say their cars will most up without the aircon on. I have no such issues in any weather conditions. Time to check the old carpets? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Always(well nearly) have A/C on-wife has COPD so the recirculatory is also in frequent use. And I think it slows the buildup of "muck" on the inside of the windscreen. Chris.S.

I have noticed that since I've had my ZT its one of the worst cars I've owned for misting up windows, but all my carpets are dry, the cabin filter is new, the plenums are nice and free and clean.
Am I missing something? I very rarely have it on re circulation unless I'm following something like a bus ( I cant remember around Derby the last time I saw one that wasn't belching out black smoke!! ) N.B. Remember everyone, it's just our diesel cars that are to blame for pollution, public transport is greeeeen!!!! ( Honest )

Not 75/ZT, but to my accute embarrassment after 3 years ownership I have discovered my BMW 520d has a dipstick. I made the mistake of believing other people and the owners handbook which describes the electronic oil level measurement and also shows a picture of the wrong engine.
You live and learn, as they say, but I do feel a plonker, Rodney. |

A friends original Toyota Corolla had interesting instructions in the manual -
"If the car has been left parked in the sunshine for a long period, switch on the radio and drive a little farther."
