Hi all.
My aircon stopped working some time back but due to other priorities have not worried to get it attended to. Anyway planning on a long trip soon and my better half told me - in no uncertain manner - that the air-con was on top of her list so off to the AC people I went. Appears that the pipe has worn through - the aluminium pipe that goes down the length of the body? - and needs to be replaced. About $1500 apparently and 7 weeks wait as these are not kept as spares in Australia???
My question is what other alternatives are there. As my Prado is set up for touring it is basically a 2 seater as the rest is taken up with Drawers / Fridge / Waters tanks etc so no one can sit there.
My thoughts are around the HiLux air-con - as this is a 2 seater can this not be installed in place of the incredible complex and not very robust 150 pipe. This would serve the purpose of keeping us in the drivers seats cool - which is all we want really.
Thoughts / suggestions please?
