jonathan_dyane Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Bodge of the week? This is the third winter I’ve had my 9-5 which precipitates a major problem the car has had with misting up as soon as the temperature drops below about 5 degrees C at which point the (highly complex) heater deactivates the a/c. Helpfully you can get the heater to display fault codes, less helpfully it wasn’t displaying any. Previous work has been around checking various parts of linkage are in place and not snapped off (which is common) and for good measure I replaced the heater matrix none which made no difference. I had a suspicion that the recirc flaps were stuck shut however the motor for them I had already established was fine leaving the linkage suspect however it looked like the whole heater had to be removed and dismantled to get to it. No thanks. Today with the prospect of a long journey in cold conditions I finally got around to pulling off the wiper linkage and scuttle to see what was happening. As suspected flaps were firmly closed even when the heater was on demist. My fix was a chunk of timber (tanalised for longevity!) wedged and cable tied into position. Finally the car now demists! I know I will lose some a/c efficiency in the summer but I think I’m calling this fixed. HMC, warch, myglaren and 14 others 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warch Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 God I admire you, looks like the triple cable tie solution to my gear linkage that kept fucking falling off in inopportune situations like the front of the queue at traffic lights or on blind bends. Since fixed after 5 months with one of those 5 quid ebay retaining clips. My reason for cheerfulness, managed to run over 20 miles for the first time ever. It was bloody freezing today like running on the ice planet at the start of Empire Strikes Back, but with more sheep and less wampas. Running is part of my shit car ownership plan, if all else fails I can ditch the wheels and jog to my destination.

Pete-M Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 What makes me grin? 20 miles of dry, derestricted, empty Autobahn on Christmas Eve and a 354 bhp car. Fröhe Weinachten! Every song on Radio Antenne was a Xmas tune. All in English as well, which I didn't expect. Don't take long to get home.

Jerzy Woking Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Finally got the hang of balancing the airflow on my woodburner. Logs now burn much longer and hotter (so my thermometers confirm) and takes the chill of the house in the evening. Also still warm and sunny, so out on the bike to the town to get a few bottles of very good, and cheap, wine Merry Christmas all! stonedagain, Tickman, Pete-M and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The real cost of Ferrari ownership I read this post on another forum 456’s ”can” be cheap in the short term. But if you keep one for long, and use it, you’re in for financial pain. I remember putting the figures for mine on here a few years ago. I try not to remember, but distantly recall that my daily travelling to/from London/Dorset was cheaper by helicopter than 456...
