Nope that was quoted at £9000 last year, needless to say didn't get it from them. They replaced compressor and refitted trim taken out by incompetents at HK Autotek, Stevenston. HK had it 3 months and couldn't find fault, kept wanting different parts. 2 of the 3 months were spent by me trying to get the beast back from the *ssh%les. Had to threaten with lawyer and police to finally get them to give me a bill and release it.Parks had it one day and diagnosed it.

£1000 for an EAS compressor and some trim studs?
 
Took out drivers seat to repair heat eliment, only to find previous owner had gone all the way to strip the seat down and then decided just to rip out the heating eliment. No wonder changing the fuse didnt work !!!!. Found spare base with eliment, fixed the broken wire with a jumper and replaced seat. little tip, replace the hog rings with small zippy ties, less hastle and quicker.

Been meaning to fix mine for longer than I can remember. I think someone did a How to. @biketeacherdave perhaps?
 
Busy week this week, Monday night I changed the compressor mounts, they didn't look bad taking them of so I wasn't hopeful but my god the new ones have made a massive difference. Its no longer sounds like its trying to get out of the bonnet! I also changed the passenger side door latch as mentioned on another thread to great success even if the sill latch is a royal pain in the bum to get back onto the latch mechanism.

Also dreaded MOT day tomorrow - I believe the anti roll bar drop links need changing so they are on the passenger seat ready in case they are needed.

Happily no bother this year as I've just collected her with a pass, even if you are confident I still think there is a degree of dread when taking something for a ministry test! Needed some ARB drop links as I thought and weirdly some wiper blades, I thought I'd changed them earlier in the year and they seemed fine but perhaps not! It should perhaps be fleet MOT day as I've dropped my van of for its first ever MOT @108k miles lets hope that passes as well.
 
By passed heater matrix hoses @ firewall to stop my left leg from been fried. So next job repair/replace drivers side blend motor. Autumn will do.

I think I'd be heading back after dark with matches and accelerant to get my monies' worth.

Considering my parting words to the d*ck at HK Autotek, if it went up in flames, I'd be the first suspect. Also I wouldnt want to do him a favour by allowing him to make money on insurance. Instead I'll use the court system and get money back that way. :D;)
 
Tomorrow will be remove passenger seat strip down and replace heater elemiment, fix glove box damper and change bulb in spedo binikle. Hopefully thats all the niggles done for now !!!!!
