Did you drop a car park ticket behind the dash?

At least you can get to the evap sensor on a 129 with ease, they are the ones that make the heater go cooler the further you drive.

Think inside of your fridge. This is the bit that gets cold with the aircon.

I'd hate to see how many hours this will take you Cole.

Can you imagine the cost at a stealer? :confused:

The evaporator is an essential part of the ac system. The fan blow across it and its acts as a radiator in reverse. Rather than creat heat , it uses radiation to cool.
A heater matrix radiates heat
An evaporator radiates cool air , or less heat.
I could go on but ill bore you

With this type of car, they have reached a point where they look great value for money, but they are an eighty thousand pound car when new, and consequently have eighty thousand repair bills, it's the price us ordinary's have to come to grips with when buying these exotics, having wrote that, I bet good money that Coles bill to his customer will be a fraction of what a dealer would want, and strength to his arm, if it were not for the likes of MBS us ordinary's couldn't afford to keep these motors on the road.

Support your local Indy or lose 'em.

All this of course is only IMHO.

Any bits left over ?

The law of inanimate reproduction states that if you take something apart and put it back together enough times , you will have two of them :D

Nope, i needed 6 8mm washered screws which were missing when i started, trick is, when you take a panel of, you tape the screws to the inside of said panel, you cant go wrong that way..............it takes a tad longer but you no what screws go where.......
