as an update to this thread.
I now have AC, exact correct system for my car with the correct looms.
Whole kit sourced from an unregistered LE500 (Martin Smith) and installed by Tony's Custom Cars of King's Lyn.
All in cost was less that £1500.
Thanks everyone for the help.

The under bonnet wiring loom is not that hard to make, I've done it, its finding the right connectors that took some searching for me. And there are only 4 or 6 wires to run from the front of the car to the ECU, and one to add to the engine wiring loom of the loom is not already aircon-ready.

Hi all, I'm considering doing this on my 2009 TF135. First of all thanks to quick-spider for the detailed info, certainly looks like a fairly challenging job, even if all the parts are readily available, something I have yet to look into.

I was wondering if anyone else has followed this guide recently (2021) and successfully completed the installation. Any further information gratefully received.
