mfo20 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi there, I would like to put an airconditioning in my 1997 300Tdi Discovery. At the moment I have only normal ventilation and as I live/work in West Africa (very hot place) I need to install some A/C in it. Getting tired of sticking my head out the window for some cooling. Obvious I need the compressor and some other bits and pieces. Has anybody done a job like this or is it better to buy another disco that has standard A/C in it? Thx, mfo20.

cipx2 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 There are a lot of other bits and pieces, roughly 40-50 pieces (including wiring and what goes under the dash). It's doable, especially if you have a donor vehicle and you can do the swapping having them side by side. But it's not worth it IMO. Better buy another one with factory A/C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfo20 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hmm, sounds like a good idea but will have to make a small cost calculation. Need to get a good donor vehicle. Shipping and clearing costs around 800 GBP so the donor vehicle must be in a fairly good condition so that I can use many more parts - even if it just to have them around in case something breaks down on the one I am driving. Parts I am thinking of are: complete engine+gearbox, glass windows, rims, seats maybe,.... Will look around for donor vehicle on ebay. Should not be more then 1200 GBP for a good solid vehicle???? Thx for the idea. mfo20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
