Yes. One of the chips/capacitors might be overheating causing the intermediate failures. That is why I asked about whether the problem was at cold car start up. My system has similar problems, but since it is quite cold here (Montreal), I have no problems until many hours of use as the unit warms up. I have not taken the unit out to check for connections - too much of a hassle!

The strange thing is this has only raised it's head again since we have started getting cold nights here in France, during the hot weather it was a lot better! Apart from this, I wonder if the fan can be changed?
