    My SL500 is currently at the dealer having the air con tested. It was running cold but not as good as it has been in the past.

  • All - Open Windows Cost More Than Air-con 11 Jul 2011 (Forum)
    air con for only £49 so you don't have to fritter away the £££s by driving with your windows down.  I've seen a couple of tests in car and driver that suggest that driving withthe window ajar has no noticeable effect-even at 60mph+, whereas the air
