I'm currently in the middle of a rad/intercooler change on my Activa turbo. It's been in the back of my mind for many years to retro-fit air con to the car (black car, black interior does = hot in summer!) and clearly as I have the whole front of the car stripped down atm, this would seem the logical time to fit the condenser, if nothing else yet...
So I've been looking around to see what bits are available and having a read on here to find out what I can about general info on the system, but I still have some basic questions atm, if people can please bear with me.
It looks like there are various different manufacturers of the components and I think I've seen at least 2 different designs of condensors and read that there are 2 different types of connectors in use?
So question number 1, can someone please give me a brief run down on any differences in types of systems fitted, what bits are/are not interchangeable between them.
Question number 2 are there any pro's/con's about the different types of systems? I.e. is there one I should try and get because it's more efficient, more reliable, bigger supply of parts etc.
Question number 3, has anyone else out there done what I'm trying to do, out of interest?
Question number 4 (lastly) is there anyone near me that's breaking a Xantia with air con, that I could come and remove so I have all the bits

Thanks in advance...
EDIT: Just to say, I'm planning on getting the intercooler/rad back into the car this coming weekend (5/6th April) so would be great to get this wrapped up by then if poss please!
