    Just make sure you have plenty of time to do it and after I did it in Summer i'd suggest holding off til autumn. Its not fun spending hours in the car when its 40 degrees outside.

    Lots of people say that it's not worth the effort. Well I'd say yes it it worth it. Yep its hard work and takes a bit of doing - but I love the climate control in my VN. Took me 4 days working on my own at a steady pace. Hardest bit was getting the heater pipes through the fire wall. (use plenty of soapy water). I put a statesman loom in.

    I dont see what so special about it, maybe its because I never use it due to my aircon ****ting itself.

    I love climate control, just set it and forget it. But im not sure if I personally would go to the effort of converting to it, but thats just me.

    Lights are hard to photograph, you need to see them in person to do them justice especially when I use a mobile phone to take pics:
