So yeh i found out my air con is broken and is going to cost £300 to fix.
Dose that sound about right for a new compressor, pipe and labor at a private garage?
And would you guys spend that? i don't think im going to

Sounds cheap if it includes a Compressor are you sure it's not the more common 'condenser' ?
I thought a new compressor alone is £500.00+

That's a shame - this summer's supposed to be a long period of warm consistent weather (apparently) so depending on what you use it for/where your going mostly then I'd think long and hard about it.
The 406's a/c is brilliant! if you're handy you might be able to fit the condenser or get a friend to help etc. and then get a mobile a/c guy to gas it? you should be able to get the whole lot done for £200.00 I'd say.

It needs a pipe too, apparently thats the killer with the part costing £100 its self.
But nah its a 51 plate LX 1.8 D9 so its only worth 1500 is even that. So its not worth spending £300 on, especially with its other minor niggles.
Im considering getting a new 406 and trading it in as in this topic >
