Where to get 2ndhand Aircon fitted in South?
Okay here is my question:
Just bought 2nd hand Aircon for a classic. Phoned up my local dealer, Sparshatts. They use Coolair from Lincoln, who have a deal with Int. Motors. They dont seem very keen to do the work. So who else can I use? I live in the Portsmouth area. I understand there is no Air Conditioning governing board whose members will ensure a quality job.
Help!!!!!
Thanks
Simon

WOW XRS, that was quick. Thanks.
I rang Brake Engineering on Tel: 01273 300243 and spoke with Keith.
He said it would cost 160 ish to fit. I gauge from my conversation with Coolair that they were going to be way more than that.
Anyone any experince of the quality of work from Brake Engineering?
Thanks,
Simon

£160?! Blimey. There has to be some mistake there - as an option from new, a/c on the classic was £1500, dropping to £995 for the last year before the bugeye came out. I've been quoted £360 just to replace the condenser on my old Primera.
You sure it's not £1600?

The quote was to fit a supplied kit.
Not keen on the DIY option. I am not much of a DIYer or mechanic. Rather be able to blame someone else if they f*** it up :O)
Thanks

just to put a spanner in the works have you got all the bits ?
Like two high pressure pipes,2 low pressure pipes,drain pipe and bulkhead grommet,4-5 relays about £20-40 each,fuses A NEW receiver dryer which has two types of plug on sensor,Pump,Belt and mounting bracket,front radator and fan
And the bit that could make you think you have wasted your money if you don't have the right bits,Internal matrix 2 types that I know of and housings,early cars have to have a section in the middle of the dash and the other that goes in the main heater fan unit then you get onto the real headache the switchgear
there are three types of switch WRX climate control,normal uk spec early and new style dash type
Hope this helps a bit as I been there done that
