The cold central vents? Of course! Most modern cars have the feature, but its rarer on older models. For example the x40 series has a 'airmix' feature which allows you to choose between the main temperature control and 'cold' for the temperature of the central vents - allowing you to slightly take the chill off the central vents if it is very cold.

Piss of you gits! sm2 it's "faded red" and it's only like that due to me not wanting to be t-cutting in the rain sm49 ! It rains all the time up north, never stops, infact, summer all the way up here lasted for 47 minutes 22 seconds, and i missed it cos i was driving!

hmm

are the centre vents allways cold (not settable). It's just that I've not seen this before on my pairents cars (Mk2 Cavalier, Nissan Bluebird, L reg escort)

I can't test this at the moment because the resistors that control the blower motor are buggered (need another one).

Mk3 Cavalier has all-cold vents. Well kinda....for any given setting they are colder than the rest anyway - kinda like cold, cold, little bit warm (for cold/warm/hot).

300 series centre vents are definitely always cold.
