Hey guys,

This week's episode is all about the heater/air con unit.

I was lacking some parts due to the world ending but I have them all on order and the final piece was a nice contrast from what it used to be.

Enjoy!

Hey Mart!

We're very well thank you. I hope the same for you and yours!

If I wasn't doing the vids I'd possibly buy a new one as well. The videos are taking over!

Thanks mate, always good to hear from you.

Anyone reinstalled one of these back into the car?

Is it best to apply the A/C lines once the box is installed in the car? The lines were very difficult to access for removal so getting the lines started and making sure o-ring seats (and you are supposed to wrap the ends afterwards) which would seem to be a pita

or is it best to pre-attach? just wondering how difficult it is to manoeuvre the whole thing and feed the lines through with all the wiring harness there and steering column etc
