Thread: Roof AC on 130

I tell you that AC in my defender is taking the shine of the LR 130 I love.
My 99 TD5. I did see the other day a roof mounted AC on a 130 similar to a truck type. It might be the answer... anyone fitted one, does it work, is it refrigerative of evaportative, if it works where can I get on fitted ? signed stinky and sweaty

I have a110 CSW V8 3.9i, that came without aircon , as I bought it in UK (86 MY) When i was living in WA I found a need for decent aircon, and was aware of the limitations of the early and later systems (I had a OZ spec 130DCHCPU as well) In the end I fitted a Red Dot roof top unit which has the condensor integral . This saves having it infront of rad, as i noticed that prettywell all the 4wds had to turn off aircon when working hard in soft sand in high temps to prevent o/heating . I also fitted the optional Donaldson filter so you can have it on freshair and pressurize the interior so keeping the dust out . i used a sanden compressor, 1 up from the normal discovery spec item , as when on full it uses a fair bit of refrigerant , but not usually on that for long even in 45C+ , the vents in the roof rotate so doesnt blow on neck . The model is R-9727 , you have to reinforce the roof panel a bit but not difficult , I ran the hoses up the drivers 'a' post . HTSH

if you google REDDOT refrigeration , and click on products and then online catalogue it will give you a good idea of whats available
