Thats like my old one...no central locking!

Andrew, do you recon your kit would fit a m42?

All E30 A/C setups are pretty much the same, just some plumbing differences between LHD/RHD, and brackets are different for compressor.

There was a member dbanberry I think who had a chrome 316 (1.8 carb) tthat had A/C, he bumped it and broke it iirc.

I thought the compressors where different? or maybe it was just the mounting..

ETK shows compressor as being common use between all E30's, and also some E23 and E34.

No Ian, im now on the look out for a later compressor for the S14 as its much smaller. I have done all of the under dash bits inc electrics now just to find the rest.
