Thank you AndrewG and RichardS for the info. Do you know of anywhere else a bit further north as I'm in South Yorkshire and Bristol is a long way to get my AC sorted? I will have to go to PowerZed if theres nowhere closer that you know of. Many thanks, Rex

Hi, I have a 1993 TT Auto 2+2 thats been converted to manual. No problems there. What I have issue with is I've had the car for 12 years and to date never really bothered with needing the air con cooling function. Due to health reasons I now need it working. I've been told that the system needs parts replacing so that it can work with the latest stuff they use to regas them. Has anyone had experience of going through this process and knows what needs changing and some idea of the cost to get it done please? Many thanks, Rex

Hi Luke, Can you tell me what style and condition the rear spoiler is if you still have it please? Some pictures would be great to show style and any bad bits that may be on it. Many thanks, Rex

Hi guys, I was having this issue, getting my Z through the MOT emissions test. My son is a mechanic & MOT tester (recently qualified) and even he didn't know the path through the test for our cars. Mine is a 1993 import. Because its an import then they have no data to test it against. When the emissions test fail if they follow the instructions correctly they should then do a NON-CAT test which it passes easily. I know someone else with a 300 who has his own garage and he said exactly the same thing. You can see the charts that direct the MOT'er as oto how to test our cars on the VOSA site and that's what I showed my son. He spoke with a very experienced MOT'er and garage owner and he agreed with what I found on the VOSA site. If you cant find it and still having problems just let me know and I'll dig out the exact sheets/links for you. Also mine was running normal unleaded and low spec plugs so I've just found out and it still passed. Rex

My son is a mechanic (Handy) and at his place they connect the regas machine to the car and it then does the whole job fully automatic. 1st it extracts all the old gas and oil, pressure tests the system and only if the pressure test is good will it then fill the system with gas. I had them regas my Mondeo. Shame they don't have the adaptors for doing my 300 as I need that doing too. I did go to a local place that did not have the machine that does it automatically so it may be worth asking what system the use. Rex

Where and when are you currently thinking of meeting up or am I too late guys?
