I know a lot of the posts are requests for help so hope this breaks the trend - in a good way.

I had a bit of a play with my new toy today - only had it a week and finding my way around with the aid of the "good book". Anyway, trying stuff out and I discovered that the air con still works (this in a 98 car). Well how good is that?

Just in case you wonder why I didn't test it before buying -
a) it was freezing cold anyway so I couldn't tell if the air had been chilled by the car, and
b) I'd just assumed it would be u/s anyway.

Looking forward to lots more surprises.

I have one to add: I removed the connection to the electric aerial mounted on the rear wing and plugged the co-axial lead into the original socket and the radio worked fine. (Perhaps not quite as good as through the electric aerial but good enough for if I get occasionally 'bored' with the engine sound!!!!)
