Thread: Retro fit 2nd and 3rd row aircon ???

Have a look on the pommy D2boysclub forum, pretty sure they've done it.

I thought all 7 seaters had rear aircon but the one I am looking at has ace SLS and a rear step but on rear aircon. Was it an optional extra?

Yes, it was an option, about $4k if I recall correctly.

A couple of guys over here on the D2boysclub forum are in the middle of planning/collecting parts for a rear air con retrofit.

The wiring loom for the rear control will not be present on vehicle that did not have it from the factory as the body loom has a different part number. Well on UK cars it does!

Some are planning to refit the hole lot including the rear fan motor and heat exchanger while others are planning on extending ducting up behind the rear pillar trim to feed the extra air vents from the original system.

Why on earth would you even want to do this?

Is the Disco 2 rear air con a 12V powered compressor or does it run off the main a/c compressor unit.

I'm pretty sure the D4 rear A/C is 12V.

I'm pretty sure the D4 rear A/C is 12V.

It uses the same engine driven compressor as the standard system but has a feed and return pipe for the refrigerant plumbed in that runs to the back of the car to a separate heat exchanger unit and fan blower in the rear.

Rear blower unit
