I love the “ball cooler” feature on my D3 especially after a hard day in the workshop the cool air up the shorts certainly freshens one up 😂 swimbo on the other hand really hates the cold air when she is wearing a skirt, I think she prefers a hot growler (now who is in trouble 😂😂)

Yep. Only the one thing that I hate....You should go and get one, it’s an excellent vehicle Thumbs Up

Now if I take a Dremel to the plastic under the steering wheel I wonder if I can make my own cooling....?

Fraid not, I'm at the end of my green oval journey, unless they have a drastic change of shape.
The 5 just doesn't do it for me, I hate the look back door and thats as far as I got.

Blimey! How hot is it down there? Not once have I ever thought “you know what, I wish my D4 aircon was colder! “. Then again, mine an old one now. Made before they messed with the hevac system and cocked it all up? 8)
