a strange one !
« on: 07 March 2013, 12:44 »
Oks last night i was dropping one of the lads off at home, before i set off i turned the rear demister off and of you could hear the engine tone change (i.e more/less labored), so i switched it back on and tone changed again and switched off  it changed again etc etc ?!?! is this normal wouldn't have thought it drew a lot of power.

Thanks
Mike
