A man who was angry because his Volkswagen Sharan kept steaming up decided to make a musical protest. Patrick Bissett was so annoyed he parked his vehicle outside the dealer in Lillyhall, Cumbria, and blasted Tina Turner's song "Steamy Windows" out of the stereo for seven hours.

A man who was angry because his Volkswagen Sharan kept steaming up decided to make a musical protest. Patrick Bissett was so annoyed he parked his vehicle outside the dealer in Lillyhall, Cumbria, and blasted Tina Turner's song "Steamy Windows" out of the stereo for seven hours.

He said he was told it was "normal" for the car to steam up inside.

The people-carrier has been back to the garage 15 times. As well as being stripped, it had its air conditioning unit and heater matrix replaced.

He said: "I think the garage staff will be fed up with Tina Turner for a long time to come."
