Aircon Again...
Discussion
Just been trawling through all the old posts regarding T350 air con as I'm starting to wonder if I have a problem with mine. Well, I know there's a problem with it as it behaves in the most bizarre way compared to other cars I've owned. Just wondering if "they all do that".
Basically, no cold air whatsoever comes out of the dash-top vents and similarly, no warm air comes out of the lower vents (the ones just below the height of the stereo). So, with the air con temp control set to max (hot) you get a blast of volcanic heat from the windscreen and nothing from anywhere else. Then setting the temp control to minimum (cold) cuts off the air from the dash vents and blasts out cold air from the lower vents only. Nothing actually affects the temperature of the air coming out of any of the vents.
I noted this when the car went in for the 1k service but was told that TVR themselves said that there is nothing that can be done about it.
Also notice that the fan speed seems to have no or little effect on the amount of air coming from the lower vents. So even with the fan speed set to minimum you still get quite a blast of cold.
Saw several posts about some Flap Zero setting but I couldn't quite work out what it was supposed to change (if you changed it).

Hmmmm, I never even realised there were 3 sets of vents...doh!
I'll check mine to see if i'm getting cold from the lower....after first checking if I actually have lower vents...
So as far as the operation goes...that's it? Two grand for that?
(Oh don't mind me, I'm laid up in bed with the flu, what else is there to do but moan
