    Ensure there isn't any refrigerant in there BEFORE you crack it off

    Don't know the reason why, but my Gul has had her aircon removed.

    I added aircon back into my 855 T5!! With the right skill aircon can be kept with a large 850 FMIC.

    I just like it when I'm out working, so that I don't turn up at customers covered in sweat. None of our cars have working aircon, even though all except Gul are fitted with it.
