I' ve done it on my 1993 model year Discovery 200Tdi and it involves the complete removal of the dashboard and some tweaking on the wiring loom and relays.

I have used a genuine LR A/C complete kit with very detailed instructions and it was not difficult to do it but nevertheless removing the dashboard leaves a lot of spaghetti (wires) to be rearranged.

On the 200Tdi generation of vehicles the complete heating/ventilation/fan motor assembly has to be swapped with the A/C one.
I do not know whether this is the case with the 300Tdi generation of vehicles though since they do have a completely different assembly.

Take care
Pantelis

It's another world.

Instead we get Mottingham and trips to Tixover or Devil's pit.
