Thanks Chris :-) I'll have to look out for a car being broken now!

Prices for Phantom air con bits seem quite resonable for the "off the shelf" items ie. condenser, evaporator, drier, trinary switch and themo switch and the pipes are not expensive for made to measure items. Reconditioned compressor is reasonable as well.
O.K. the bracket and manifold might be a bit pricey but lets face it we are paying for one off individual machined parts with no chance of volume discount.
In my case I bought the conderser, evaporator, pipes, drier and switches because my engine already had the compressor fitted (different to the 827) so I just had the pipes sliced onto the existing pipes. If your engine already has the compressor mounted then it should be easy to use that.
The Phantom condenser and drier were also cheaper than replacements for my Mondeo when they were changed about 2 years ago and I was told that these are regular service items !

On a related note has anyone got any circuit diagrams for the Phantom trinary switch and thermostat ?

circuit diagrams are classified ken

im just trying to work it out from the mgf ones and mk1 800 ones. decided to scrap the rovers ATC now, as the mgf heater flaps work in the wrong order so going for the in car pc controlled climate control instead.

Ed,
circuit diagram for my air con and cooling fans. This is using Phantom air con thermostat and trinary switch and the relay module from a Rover 600 deisel (located under a cover plate under the carpet of the pasenger side floor). Because they are inside the car they are nice and clean and don't get wet - one I tried from later 800 was really manky and didn't work and one from 400 with air con was split and full of water though that might have happened in the scrap yard.
