Yes but you need to change a lot of parts including the heater assembley plus more sensors etc.

Never trust anyone when they say that. The amount of times I've heard "Yeah, everything's there you'll need for it" and it's been rubbish!

well theres been a little problem. cant blame anyone.

I said to the seller that i will collect THEM from you (i ment Boot release switch & climatronic)

This is the message i got from ebay:

"Rite mate someone's had the climatronic set up and if I am honest it's a b!tch to fit the dash has to come out.....that why I never fitted it I kept putting it off!"

to me this sounded like someone had this setted up in a car, we agreed to a price and i said i will be down on saturday evening (tonight) to pick it up.


But in a message previously the seller said:

"sorry mate i really cant and that fine to collect the switch then mate cheers rich"

I missed the switch only part.

So im trying to sort this out atm

I realy wanted this and wanted abit of a challange for the weekend.
