I have been wanting to add aircon to my 110 300tdi CSW, every time I look under the bonnet I see the spare gap for the compressor, however I then have two issues with the usual aircon retrifit
1) They are expensive
2) They don't work; freeze front passengers legs only, rest of front passengers body still hot, rear passengers hotter still, in the back nada, removes space for legs and where I put luggage when travelling solo and quite frankly looks absolute pants...
So forgive me, I have spent quite a lot quite readily for upgrades to the old girl, but draw the line at £2k for something ****e...
So hear goes my thought process -
1) If I was going traditional route, the heater box and area is very big and the heater is... not great, is there not an evaporator / small hvac that can replace the heater element in the heater box, or use the LHD side if RHD / vice versa? https://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/heatac
2) if not going traditional route, the cubby box needs raising on mine anyway, and this box designed for a diesel heater: https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/mud-heater-locker.html plus this designed as a toolbox https://yrmit.co.uk/product/lt77-r380-centre-seat-tool-box-land-rover-defender/, surely should be big enough to fit the cabin parts and could be modded to blow both back and forth?
Surely we can com up with something better than what is out there???
