24V Renshaw 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Just wanted to let you all know that I am in the process of changing jobs. My current job finishes at the end of Sept and I won't commence my next one until end of October... To save me from boredom and to stop the funds running dry, I was wondering whether anyone needs any work doing on their car, or even a conversion/install of something a bit different.... I am up for offers of work - a cheaper and trustworthy alternative to getting it done at the garage. :) Get in touch if you think I could help you. I will be based in York but would be happy to travel further afield. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted September 18, 2005 im pretty sure stealth charge £1300 plus vat, including chains etc, So would £1100 all in be a decent price then?? Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 18, 2005 What about air con onto my 1.9 PD TDI (need to source the parts tho!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickVR6 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Stealth do a recon head and clutch fopr £650 fixed price, or as you said about £1300 with the chains as well. Little point in doing one without the other anyway though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronan 0 Posted September 18, 2005 I need loads of work done. However, a) I can't afford it and b) I live in Devon!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Supercharged, if you can get the parts I can convert it over. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted September 18, 2005 jay sack ya job off and open up a unit :lol: or get a small unit for evenings and weekends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 18, 2005 Hmmm... I need quite a bit from looking under Jims bonnet today! Might make some enquiries tho but most TDi engines will be sold as a unit I would think and not broken... What would I need to drive it with at the front end considering I have a standard early dash (no A/C originally) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted September 18, 2005 You would need the later style dash in order to mount the climate control panel, you would also need a MK4 climate control heater matrix and pipework, compressor, drier and condensor (radiator), pluss as much wiring, fuses, sensors etc.. as possible.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Furki, I would love to do that mate, the problem is funds. Even a cheap unit for evenings and weekends is damn expensive. I guess the problem is the guarantee of work.... How many engine swaps, dash conversions, climate control installs etc.. do people need.... :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
