Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

Run it with the roof up and air con on.

See if you can hire a proper powered dehumidifier....I had the side window out of the T25 during a bastard monsoon a couple of "summers" ago. 48 hours of constant emptying the tank on the dehumidifier got it pretty dry....

You should be able to hire a bloody good one from a company that does house insurance flood repairs.

What is the best way to dry out a seriously wet interior? After the windows on the SLK shat themselves, the car just steams up overnight and the windscreen is sopping wet every day. De-humidifiers (bags) are doing nothing!

Park the car with all the windows just open a touch. Natural ventilation will shift more moisture out than can get in if they are only open a little bit. If it absolutely fucks it down go out and shut them obviously.

If it's sealed up it'll never get out.

I have a 240v portable dehumidifiyer. You're welcome to pop up and get it.
Bodger, I haven't forgot about the blowtorch. I'll try and get it posted today.

Ta, I've other problems at the mo with rear beam mounts. I smashed a t50 Torx bit yesterday trying to undo them to allow a bit more movement and it appears I need a long, slim T50 too, heat no use. Off on the hunt now.

Drive to southern Italy & run around in the sun with the roof down for a week.

Want to clean and treat the leather in the car. What is recommended?

Clean it, feed it and treat it? Ask someone who maintains saddles and associated gear. I'll ask my sister if I remember.

So let's have a stupid question.

The Frontera I just about caught it's loss of engine power



Looking now I see the ammeter drops. It does this when you turn the lights, heater and back screen all at once.

As I've never noticed this before, and don't have another car with one, is this normal or part of the problem?
