hello again iv been waiting for some parts ,hence the delay on my replies iv replaced a few hoses and the fan clutch i haven't replaced the valve yet anyway iv noticed still no heat at all but plenty of condensation behind the glass on the dash even if the door is left open. can anyone tell me how far ,[when cleaning out the 2 plastic pipes either side of the gear box which come from the ac ] the wire should go into the pipe or is it a bit more severe than that. thanks for your time.

 

Hi,

Can the airo be completely removed on an '89 xjs too?
Is it same process as mentioned above?

Best regards,

Frederik

 

Yes, no difficulty whatsover. However, if you intend to use the car as a normally driven road car in normal everyday give-and-take traffic conditions, an XJS driven as intended without aircon is MOST uncomfortable in my view. The heat soak in summer is enormous and without aircon the cabin is seriously hot and humid.

Obviously we are all different, and my hot and humid is someone else's perfectly OK; but even so I think it might be prudent to try the car in the summer (when it is fixed) with the aircon switched off for a while, and see what you think, before removing all the aircon bits.

Would the process for removing the airco system be the same for a 1990 XJS?

 

I'm with Greg.
Why would you want to get rid of the choice between heat and cold........?
You don't have to use it but is sure nice when you need to !
Sandune. Are you for real....I live in Florida and would die without the A/c even in my convertible on those days when you really need it.
