No, you are just an eternal optimist :wink:

Too expensive... better sell your G and get one with factory fitted aircon.

You have to make sure that you actually receive EVERYTHING from the seller, as a few bits missing here and there can increase the cost

Re: Retro fitting aircon into a 280GE

I'm having a condenser made for my 280GES out of copper. Expensive but less than the MB part which is alloy. Can forward plans, details etc by email if you PM me, if you want one made. I am currently investigating alternatives to the MB drier which I am told by my local dealer is over £300.
