I have asked the seller, and apparently it does and it works.
So worth a punt for someone I reckon even if it was just for bits.Hi mat yes air conditioning does work wen on to fans in the front run there is a canister in the system that can be refilled to make it run more efficiently. The vehicle has tinted windows all the best,

That's what I thought - if the fans cut in when you turn the A/C on, then it should have some pressure in the system, therefore should be leak free. Either that or someone's bridged the pressure switch...as you could read the seller's reply as
Reading between the lines and all that!the two fans in the front work, but the system needs filling with gas to actually cool you down

There's certainly many a slip between a functioning and non-functioning aircon system. The next logical question to ask is when it was last re-gassed. For parts it's certainly a potential mine of useful aircon stuff at the very least, though I'd say Tom's thumbnail rule of "spend another £500 at least to get it up and running properly" could apply here.
I was bemused too by the lack of information too and implied lack of confidence that the seller's got by putting it in as a spares-or-repair car (particularly in view of the aircon).
However, if the "complete suspension overhaul 3yrs ago" was a Pleiades job (it's the right part of the country) then it could be the kind of owner - or previous owner - who pays the money rather than asks questions. If it did have a complete Pleiades job rather than just a new set of spheres then of course it'd be Kunifer-piped...

Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.

I think its worth a punt, even if the A/C doesnt work, be honest how many people REALLY use it? 2/3 days out of the year? Its a nice thing to have as is leather ( personally I dont) but in the grand scheme of things if its as tidy as it looks and runs ok then would make someone a good motor. Its in my watched list on fleabay.

Just speaking personally really.sdelasal wrote:docchevron1472 - what do you mean when you say ... "As a car, not so much, .." expensive, undesirable model, .... you've seen the car in the flesh ...or ..? I'm just wondering as I ideally want an estate - but could be tempted. Steve
Cant say I've any desire to buy that car and use it as a car, but as a mobile pile of bits for other cars I have that are a known quantity it has potential.
Thats not to say it isn't a bad car (I haven't seen it) but if I bought it, the air con would be removed, the engine kept as a spare and the rest would be going to China.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and also the new owner of this car.
It really was a whole lotter better than I expected and has indeed had a hydraulics renovation and a lot of other work done. I'm it's 3rd owner the previous had it for a couple of years and has had it serviced regularly, but the first owner had maintained without regard to money.
I'm planning on using it as a daily runner.
I will post a little more info and some pics (if I can figure out how) in the gallery.
