weetec Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 weight up the pro's n cons. i bought the car with the buzz of "air conditioning"however, in the last 3 years of 30,000miles or so i have totally used it about 500miles and thats generous is it really worth it in this climate i got rid. especially as the pulley wheel came off on the motorway and allmost destroyed everything within the vicinity. id say average weight is approx 15kg's. but engine bay looks well better. me n andy working on car... one of the benefits is you can now stand in the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
