Hi all,
I've stupidly spent a load of money on an admittedly really impressive and sound 80 Series for a trip from London (UK) to Cape Town (Africa), and discovered that the dealer lied about it having A/C. Not happy, Africa is hot and we leave in about a month...
I need to know how feasible it is to retro-fit A/C into it, using either used or new parts (or a mix). Doing it myself is out of the question, but I'd like to know if this is a job for an LC specialist or something any good mechanic could do for me? Ideally I can persuade the dealer (a Land Rover specialist) to do the work for me for free, but I'm sure I'll have to stump up for the parts myself (and I've contacted some UK breakers).
Things I'd find immensely helpful if any of you can provide info are:
1. LC specialist needed?
2. How much work/time will it take? From that I can figure out rough prices for the work.
3. A full list of parts which are needed
4. Which parts are reliable and which break (so I can figure out which to buy new)
Many thanks in advance,
Col
