Air con
« on: 25 July 2019, 21:15:26 »
I’m very happy with my air con in this weather, I have 36f measured correctly about three inches into the central vent medium fan speed. Never had it this good in other cars :y

If it’s any comfort I started off with, condenser, drier/receiver, and refill, at cost £300 fitted, i was reluctant but I thought it’s a great car it’s only once ::) then of course the worse pipe of all broke (goes through chassis rail) so it then cost me a further £175 to 
 Buy fit and refill, and I was lucky as I got the pipe from big griffin for a song!  Anyway it’s been on all week and by god I’ve appreciated it.

Had mine regassed last july, the day before going to Silverstone for the F1. Don't think its quite as cold now as it was then, but it was still very nice to be driving around in it today with cold air blasting out of the vents. Cant put a price on working a/c in this weather.  :y

Yes indeed it makes you think how you could do without it in this heat! I really don’t feel so bad now about all that cash  :( well I’m trying :y and I’m never going to switch it off.

My old 190 doesn't have a/c and I was finding excuses not to drive it for the last week or two. Then it died and saved me the bother.  ;D

We didn't have global warming in the 70's, so we didn't need aircon. It still felt pretty warm though.  ;D

I spent most of that summer trying to kill myself on various motorbikes, and just before my 17th birthday in October, I came very close to succeeding.  ;D
My knee joint has been reminding me of that episode for the last week. Its giving me serious aggro.  >:(

Only really rich people had cars with a/c then. Normal people just wound the windows down with the handles provided.   :)

I was 20 then, mk2 3.4 jaguar, ford Zodiac mk3, Vauxhall’s Cresta pa friary, Thames 7cwt, plus others in that busy year. Air con was provided by the rate of window winding :y

Aircon doesn't work on my V70,but does on the 960 it's never worked on the Omega and certainly won't now I've put the shorter non-aircon auxiliary belt on it to bypass the compressor which is kaput.Working/not working really doesn't bother me either way,I'm just loving this weather :y

When it blew the pipe after £300! I was devastated
But of course after all that spent I had to follow it up.
Evo and Astra units I’ve ditched so at least I’m not going to get a bill for that again.
