Was coming out of a car park and it seemed like steam was coming from under the bonnet. I remembered this has happened in the past and it's linked to the air recirculation button being on. Once switched off, there isn't an issue.

Also, the brakes intermittently don't seem to engage properly for a short period just after a cold start. Possibly for about 30 seconds. Is it just a case of letting it warm up slightly?
You will probably find the electric Brake vacuum pump seized up. Under the battery tray...
