Anyone know a ball park figure for fitting A/C to a Hiace where one hasn't been previously installed? Basic system?

Cheers.

...I agree especially if you want to do a front system and then have mid-section outlets with controls for those kids in the back....

If you dont mind geting your hands dirty, you could probably buy the complete system from a wrecked similar model Hiace to yours, it will mean pulling your dashboard apart to install it all though.

But, at least that way - all the ducting, wiring and the associated bits and pieces fit properly and it will look like it was factory original.

Then you only need a tradesman to flush the system out, new filters fitted, the oil changed for fresh stuff and regassed.

The other option is an aftermarket roof mounted unit, even then- you still need the compressor, its mounting bracket and drive and tensioner pulleys.
This one would not involve stripping out the dashboard- and you can probably do most of the install yourself if you wanted to.

No idea what a system like this costs- but there are lots out there on the road so they must be reasonably good.

Your van must have some special sentimental value to want to go to that much effort to pimp it out, did you lose a cherry or something in it?
