I'll have a look for the cabin temp sensor and check that. That being faulty would make the most sense to be honest.

Okay, I have fixed the problem. It's now keeping the car at a comfortable 21 degrees. Have a look at this picture and see if you can work out what the problem is.

It'll be the knob set to blue making sure all the vents squirt cold air. Then biasing the heater to those vents.

Auto button then turn off aircon and all will be fine most of the time. Adjust the thumb wheel for what temp you want in your face.

I think the problem was more the knob behind the steering wheel but yes you are correct.
