I realise the simplest solution would be to buy a car with air con, but my Dad has expressed more than a passing interest in getting air con for his 2003 Clio. Surely a kit from another Clio wouldn't be that hard to fit? LOL not personally, though.

Can it be done?

Is there anywhere that does it?

yes it can be done, but i personally wouldnt bother with a clio.

Went one better we bought our clio sport 172 with climate and cruise! You can also set max speed for speed limit on cruise nice!!!

Why not to a Clio? He's keeping it long term (like five years +) so what's the problem?

Or is it more down to cost versus future value?

What would be a typical cost for a second hand system fitted? £600?? Just picked that figure off the top of my head cos I really haven't got a clue!!

I know a place that can retro fit cruise!! But he's not interested in that. Probably my next mod, actually

I really don't think it would be worth the hassle on such a car. There's quite a bit of mechanical fitting to do, compressor, new drive belt to include compressor, pipes, heater matrix-dash out. Then all the electrics, wiring to the compressor and switch etc, different controls. Plus aircon usually connects to the managment so whether a non aircon ECU would accept aircon, I don't know.

It would be sooo much easier to buy a car with it already on, there must be loads about...if it was summat special, a bit rare or summat then yeah go for it, but on (without being rude) a low value, high volume car, it's not worth it.

Yeah point taken. I'll tell him to open a window

I was going to retrofit A/C to my civic type R, from the dealer it was around the 1K mark
