Own a 1997 mantis, Air con is playing up - where can I get it re-charged locally to Sussex?

Please dont suggest that I contact Marcos Heritage - not in my good books after fcuking me about over a stainless exhaust that they still havent got right.

Also need to get the tracking adjusted - nowhere seems to have the settings!

I took a bit of a gamble last year and had it done at Frosts in Shoreham - Chevvy, Corvette and Lotus dealership. They didn't do to bad a job but were very expensive, and were a bit unsure on certain factors.

Had an M.O.T done by their Fast Fit / Vauxhall side and had a very hard job convincing them that they couldn't fail it on the brakes (claimed that the servo wasn't working) - Numpty!

Will give Interporsche a call and see what they can do.

Good excuse to give it a blast up the A23

First one didn't fit! No where close

Took it back along with the original Janspeed system and was told : 'No Problem, we will have a new one sorted within a couple of days'

Three hot sunny weeks later, after numerous phone calls a replacement finally arrived.

It needed a few modifications to the brackets with a large hammer, had to cut a one inch section of pipe off that was protruding throught the flange and managed to get it to fit!


It looked like it had been made by a YTS trainee!

Result??

Nope - one tailpipe is two inches longer than the other - phoned MHS and still waiting for a reply.

A Bargain £500 = VAT!
