Indeed, the AirCon was a £1000 cost option - 5 years down the line I would be facing a re-charge charge, not cheap!

£1000 for the 3 days of each year that its hot enough to warrant it??

Don't think so ........... £1000 in Tesco shares has done wonders for any drop in resale value, thanks all the same

My 04 WRX felt really slow yesterday, felt like I was driving a 2 litre sport, couldnt feel the turbo kick in at all.

Ohh yeah, a recharge is about £70 for a professional outfit, less £££ for a less reputabe one!

I really should stop replying to PSLewis' posts, but my wagon was still quick yesterday, even though I had run out of TMIC water spray liquid!

I danced around the car twice, not the three times as directed to by the ***** ............ one of my Morris Dancer Bells fell off too

And now I must face the resulting smashed engine

£1000 for Aircon?!?! - not on the MY00 I had - it was less than half that I'm sure. Bollox from you as usual.
