I don't really get this problem, but then I do very low mileage. Is it more annoying on long journeys or just general driving?

As in not using it? I never used my aircon in my old Astra as the old adage about aircon stealing BHP was always on my mind, especially when it had about 50bhp on a good day. It didn’t feel like the engine had any beans to spare to run the aircon compressor.
Then it obviously didn’t work at all when I did try and use it. And the whole car turned into a steamy mess if I ever tried to put air circulation on.
I just leave it on permanently in the e46 now. Too paranoid about losing a functioning aircon!

Fuck me, I get 600 miles in the e46, and I could get 400+ plus in the Astra. I’m a slut for chasing the MPG tho. 270 mile range would drive me mad.
