T350C aircon question.

[valhalla]

Can anyone tell me how(if) i can get cold air to the drivers side foot well on the t350c, over the last couple of week,s with this heat ,we are tending to get a nice cool left hand ,and a very sweaty right hand!!(we get cool air in the passenger foot well)

I would have thought that we should be able to get cool air down there, would'nt you??...(it must be me!!) Because tvr don't do totally stupid things like that......DO THEY????
So can someone please explain to me how i sort this??
I was told that the 'flaps' can be adjusted in the set up mode of the cars computer.
But as yet the only thing that come's out of the vent is hot air if i put the heater on.

Dave..

Dave, I've been out in the 350 today with the air con on, I honestly can't remember if I could feel cold air by my feet, but I certainly did notice the heat sink by my feet when I switched it off. Sorry, I couldn't give you a definite yes or no... Tuan

Thanks Tuan, you are the only reply i've had so far.
Sombody must know the answer, c'mon you lot!!!

There is a black plastic vent, to the side of the transmission tunnel, open it as you do with the ones on the dash!! Bennno >> Edited by bennno on Sunday 17th August 21:24

My T350C Aircon has only the dash vent on the drivers side, conveniently TVR forgot to fit vent cover in the drivers footwell which gave me a lovely pink foot. This was fixed but I was told no cold air available from this vent. Aircon now has given up the ghost on a trip to Devon in the blazing heat and after a previous fix? so must wait again for a further day off the road. Getting a bit fraught but on my 4th TVR so should be used to it. Any one got a fix for the annoying steam up of the windscreen right in front of your eye line which the dealer thinks is amazing but can't fix! When it appears no amount of rubbing, polishing, coaxing etc will budge it.

Hi Lassie..Yippie! Yippie!(sorry) but i'm so pleased that someone else has the same problem with thair beloved T350c as we do!!!!
We have had the windscreen fogging up on the right hand side in sort of a "fan shaped pattern" ever since we had the car (May),as you say no amount of scrubbing seems to shift it!.
Ours doesn't do it all the time (only every sunday when we use the car).
When it happen's it is accompanied by a strong smell of engine coolant, and before anyone says, no its not windscreen washer fluid, because when we got the car there was no washer additive in the bottle and we used to smell it then!
During the heat wave it seemed worse,with it being 100 degree's outside ,there is no way that you should get condensation on the windows, (also i had'nt just had the aircon on)Which is pretty damn usless aswell.
I'm sure the guy's at Castle Tvr think we are mad, because we have been telling them about this for quite sometime.
But now i can tell them that you suffer with the same thing as we do, perhaps they might believe me now,
(eh!Ian/Darren/Mike).
Please let me know if you get it sorted.

PS..Feel free to show your Dealer this reply.

Hi Frostie, thanks for the reply but no, the aircon lost all the gas and after a quick fix at the dealer, lost it all again on the way to Devon. On Thursday the whole thing is going to be stipped down so wait with baited breath for Friday, then no doubt it will all go pear shaped again. Hi valhalla & Nicksey thank the lord I'm not alone, thinking of shares in Halfords the amount of gunge I am directing at my patch of fog! Even tried piece of cloth on top of dashboard and that has been my best result so far, surely there has to be an explanation for this, hallo TVR how about it?

Hi Lassie,this is a strange one isn't it ! Do you get any 'smell' with yours when the fogging happens? However the guy's at castle Tvr are checking it out next week, because the car is going in for a rear paint job ,after the petrol cap ring fell off taking a strip of paint with it not long after we had the car back in May.
Also the having the speedo fixed which failed at the same time, however i wont go on with the list of prob's on here as i must be getting quite a name for myself for complaining about the car.
If anyone on here want's me to compare notes with thair probs you can email me via my profile, and let me know of some of yours(i'm sure you must have had some prob's!)
Thanks Dave (valhalla)
