   how hard will it be to convert my 1.1 saxo to a air conditioned engine, and what will i need to buy? are we looking at stupid prices?

   not worth converting it, better off just buying a car with air con as standard.

   What do you want it air conditioned for? You have windows dont you? Not worth messing around imo.

    Hi, I got a quote to get it fitted in my VTR....was going to work out at about £1500 quid, and I was told that in some cases there isn't enough room under the bonnet to fit the parts. There's the condenser, pipes, generator and whatever else is require!
    
    Decided not to bother and just stick me head out of the car in traffic jams instead!
