Air-Con in Non air-con cars.

[terry]

I've been swapping e-mails with a guy called Ossi Bashiri, among other peices of macninery he has an Excel, that he is having refurbed.

He want to install air-con in a non aircon car, I've sent him some pictures of the button controls, but he would some advice on who could do it, and what needs to be done.

Below I've cut and pasted, my last response, but has anyone had it done? By whom?

I'll photocopy the relevant bits from my handbook.
