I remember driving this home from Taunton, only 20 miles but it was horrid. Had the choice of driving with a steamed up windscreen that I couldn't see anything out of or putting the heater on and setting it on fire.

I hate Vauxhalls

LOLZ. The misted up windscreen was due to the pollen filter being full of water so was blowing moisture onto windscreen & also shorting out blower motor rea-stat causing lots of smoke & burning smell.

Just a side project, it'll get there but there are so many options lol!
