After much hunting about I figured out that all I needed to fix my
aircon was a pressure switch.

I got one from a breakers (with a warranty... and £10 instead of the
£90 BMW wanted seemed like a good risk).

It turned up today, I eagerly went and fitted it... no joy.

So, still hot and sweaty tomorrow :-(


What usually happens with online breakers and duff parts - no hassle
replacements, or drag it through the courts? (not that I would anyway,
for £10).


what a waste of gas, or have you got a recycler?



Neither. The switch screws onto a valve (like a car tyre valve) so you
only lose a pfft of gas each time you take it off.
