Mario, Yes that’s where my rear a/c is. Saved me looking up Rave. Wondered if it had separate refrigerant.
2 out of the 3 kids like it..... fortunately you can throttle each outlet..

I visited mine. It's amazing that it is still there after this amount of time. And, thanks to the incredible generosity of the members of this forum, I was able to buy an auto, and a RHR door. Now I just have to arrange fitting and my D2 will ride again. Have to choose which car to sell, as Jan is no longer driving. I reckon I'll get more for the BA Fairmont Ghia with 160 ks than I will for the D2 with 300+. Well, that's how I'm going to justify it. I've missed that car.
It has been sitting for nearly three years. Apart from a very good service, does anyone have any thoughts about what needs to be done to resurrect it?
After 3 years of sitting in the street unattended it may need a new battery. Did you get your keys and fob back?Quote:

A very good chance the battery is buggered so get a new one and chuck the old one through the windscreen of old mates car, You know who I am talking about[bigwhistle]Quote:

Looking forward to seeing you D2 back on the road Mate [biggrin]
Didn't think about the tyres maybe they have flat spots for sitting there all those years, the hot and cold of the seasons .Quote:

A few weeks ago I was chasing down an intermittent momentary loss of power and found, with the aid of a nanocom, the boost solenoid was cactus so it and the delaminating hoses were replaced as well as giving the intercooler a good clean. At that point the injector loom plug and the engine loom showed no sign of oil and the power losses disappeared. I stupidly thought to myself that the car was running very well and there were no leaks or issues apart from the aircon needing a bit of gas - cold isn't as cold as it was last summer.
Today while checking things over before the really silly season I find that the injector loom plug is quite soggy as is the red plug. The current injector loom is about two and a half years old so it's probably due. Bugga.
Fitted a low coolant alarm.
Slowly getting things done.
