Broken MX5 air con - What's the best fix?
I have a 1990 Mazda MX5, which I have owned the car for the past seven years. During that time the air con has seldom worked, although the heater works fine.
I have been told the air con system is now obsolete. Do I need to drain the system so as to be clean and not firing any bacteria into the car? Can it be replaced with an up to date alternative air con system?

Yes, can be fixed if you want it to be. FAQ listing air con specialists here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/air-conditioning/ Probably won't be cheap.
