Only a small up date here, went to a local garage today so I could have the air con 're gassed as when I bought the car it wasn't working and after replacing the fan resistor still didn't work so it was ither the compressor not working correct or needed some fresh refrigerant so had it drained down today and 're filled and now I have air con that works :-)

Thats funny, 'did you fit it yourself'?. Yeah it does show that people think they know it all and actually know nowt. I have found a tidy looking zr for £400, drop a z&f tuned turbo in there and it'll be a monster. Hmm, tempting.
