    Air Con retrofit

    Retro fitting air con is always going to be expensive - you have to make sure you've got the right pipes, heat exchangers etc. I know in a D2 the heat exchangers are totally different. You would need to install the Air con circuit as well (coolant pipes), not to mention the compressor etc...

    560 miles to collect a rusty Disco - must be mad
