 |
|
| Hey guys, i've been quoted $800 bucks to get climate control fitted to my el futura. apparently it's a pretty big job which requires a bit of stuffing around with computers wiring and the rest. does this seem steep or cheap for something like this to be done? |

I think its a great price.
I'd say parts for the job are around $400. People want big money for the Climate Control Computer/Dash display. |

Parts should cost no more than $275 (without reciever/dryer) from a reputable wrecker.
Reciever/dryer should be around $90.
Not sure how much charging should be. |

The wrecker you go to doesn't look after me as well as you. I say we all send Chris to do our parts shopping
I was quoted $400 6 months ago  |

Waggin,
Tony at MacArthur Parts looks after me well, eh. Don't even want to think how many $$$ I have put across his desk.
Not bad, when I got that $6500 TS engine for $4500. |

Basically it is a straight swap.
Dash out, swap heater boxes and controllers.
Fit ambient light sensor (in top of the dash), and fit ambient temp sensor (behind the front bumper)
Not too sure how many looms will need to be swapped, could be up to 3. Or make the ones you require. |
