The scoob's not really liking the warm air too much, seems a bit sluggish compared to how it normally is, prefers cold, moist air really. I've noticed that laptop is not too keen on warm air either, seems to be taking ages to load up pages, open files etc.

Oil temp is floating around the 87-90 degree mark around town and my oil pressure has dropped a bit , probably due to the added heat thinning it out. Time for something a bit thicker.

Mine seems to be lacking power but that could be something to do with the Air Con being on full blast everywhere I drive!!
