Hello

yes i have a v reg green TDDi ghia
To be honest i haven't used the AC since i bought the car back in june. The previous owner said it needs a re gas but i will check later and see if having the ac switched on changes anything. It's normally hit and miss when it wants to make a racket but a guy at work said he can change the beltv(if it is that) for £30 so not too bad.
Wish i had the know how, time and expense to carry out the bits and bobs like your doing. Yours looks clean.
