I take it you have seen the videos/reports of *certain* cars going up
in flames because of overheating fan resistor packs? Watchdog did a
feature about it ISTR...

Just a helpful note, check the cabin filter isn't clogged, for

haven't seen that...I will check the filter thanks

If you've never changed the Duster's cabin filter since you got it, I'm
not surprised it overheated. It must stink.


I was told being the basic model it didn't have one....let you know
tomorrow...tee hee.....did the merc and it was quite clean after 15
years....
