I have now had my car nearly a week and I must say it is a revelation. Its a 2.5 from 2011. I have spent the whole weekend giving people rides - everyone wants to try. Everyone is blown away by the acceleration and the IMMEDIATE reaction to touching the (noise?) pedal.
My wife had a drive and she really enjoyed it - the steering at slow speed a little hard.
I got it for a good price but nothing compared to what Kokoro is getting!
Anyway just a question about the AC. A couple of times it has engaged during charging - and what a racquet it makes! I really thought there was something wrong but after reading up the noise appears normal. But I have not seen it cut out at all. The radiators get hot and the fans are running periodically. I just would have thought that it would have cut out as it is quite cool - around 10˚C here in the evenings. Any advice/suggestions?
Second thing - as a test I tried to run the AC in the cabin - its is cool at the moment but I put it to fully cold and push the AC button but could not feel a huge difference. I could not see any liquid through the drier window. But there is gas in the system - I checked on 1 of the refilling points.
Is it possible the AC won't run if there is a cold ambient?
Last question - what is the big metal block with the electrical connections coming/going into it? I noticed that there is a red LED on there but I have never seen the LED lite. I enclose a photo...
Otherwise everything else seems to function as it should - but wow - what a car. The last sports car I had was a Honda NSX some years ago - but this is on another planet...
