Retrofitting aircon to 2.4
I'm looking at buying a 2.4 CSW but the £3k cost of retrofitting aircon makes the cheap price now seem not so cheap. Are there any breakers that will sell the parts as Synetiq told me they will only sell me the compressor and scrap the hoses rads etc. which seems a shame.

Also are the parts the same across the 2.2 and 2.4?

I bought my kit from Cool Air Logan. From memory it was about £1,400 and is essentially the same as ORM except the condenser is dazzling silver and looks ridiculous, so paint it black before it goes in!

Happy to offer advice as it’s not a simple install.

Mine (albeit a TD5) was also from CoolAir and about the same cost. It is an easy enough DIY job in a TD5, not sure about a Puma.

After 10 years I now need a replacement condenser for the kit as it has sprung a leak or two Rolling Eyes

Thanks guys. Just spoke to Cool Air Logan and the kit is now about £2200 and going up 10% in the new year unfortunately. Looks like I'll be looking at another vehicle as nigh on 3k with labour and charging is too much. It's a crying shame as the Loire Blue SW I was looking at drove beautifully and had a mint interior.

You could try Thornton breakers, I have used them before but depends if they have any in available.
Last time I looked there didn’t seem to be, but worth a shot.

Lol. Honestly when I first went to view I thought it was Santorini. However I kind of liked the blue even when 80% needs to be sprayed.
It's the 18k+ cat S 110 2.4 on ebay and it drives like a peach however it has no aircon and needs finishing with paint trim etc. However there's a 2009 green with half the miles and all the options but cat d for 23k...
I'm not looking for a flip (obviously) just something I can use without giving a poop.
