Has anyone here successfully revived an air conditioning system in a vehicle that has been discharged and unused for ten years?
I've long wanted to the air con working again in my SD1 Vitesse but ten years have passed since I got the car, and that's eleven years since it was discharged.
I have a spare new old stock Harrison compressor with its sealing plugs still in, and a new condensor. As to the receiver/dryer and other bits, who knows what state they are in?
Who has any horror stories or tales of surprising joy relating to restoring air conditioning?
We used the Vitesse to go to Limoux in the south of France. Two days drive each way. I wouldn't bother if the car were just for driving in the UK, but in the August heat (and with 15 cases of wine potentially cooking in the car) it's something I really want to get my teeth into before summer 2010...
