You can retro fit ac but I remember making enquiries when I had mine and it was expensive!

Much simpler to upgrade the car to one with aircon.
If you can find one at a good price and sell at a good price, it may not cost that much.

I cannot afford to just upgrade the car… I just got this one and it took me 2 years to save for.it…
Just a suggestion, try sourcing the parts needed second hand off eBay and other outlets? That should hopefully keep costs down and then you have to obviously fit it all within a budget.

Hmm, just a re-gas costs £60, and none of the parts are cheap.
I’ve just done a very quick non-exhaustive dip into possibilities, just in case my broken aircon is more than simply 13 years of slow leakage brought to a head by 35C air temp yesterday. Ouch.
It’s scary with prices all over the place, and I just don’t have the time or inclination to chase down every last penny on second hand bits hoping they will be in better nick than my immaculately clean low mileage bits.
If my local Kwikfit can’t re-gas mine on Wednesday I’ll wait until the service in Sept and bite the bullet, ouch again, and get the dealer to fix it properly with guarantee.

Trouble is I have zero clue what I need… but mx5 parts have full kits…
Hi Amber… Hope you are doing okay! If you give MX-5 Parts the details of your car, chassis number, registration number, they should be able to tell you the parts needed for the a/c install…

I’d say that’s a good price,especially if your going to keep the car long term
