I never said I was worried about the fuel consumption so with all due respect I think I have the right car. I was just interested in the merits if any of removing the air con.

Removing Air Con

I understand that if you remove the air con more power can be gained. If this is true has anyone done it? Is it a simple matter of disconnecting all the relevant parts. The air con belt seems to drive the compressor pump and another unit that sits below it. Anyone help?

I would second that also have your battery checked as I would imagine the initial start is taking a lot of current ( more in colder weather ) but should be able to hold enough charge if you are using the car on a regular basis.
