It needs converting from the old gas, need to get mine done still also! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Whats involved when its converted?

If you take of the service port caps, if you see external threads it is still R12. If there is a fitting screwed onto the pipe and the out side has a few ridges on it it may be r134a.

Cheers man

I think my compressor has seized from not being used for 2 years. Might have to book it in somewhere when I'm back in three weeks. No way I'm driving around in a black car with no air cond during summer. Suggestions where I can take it and how long will the car be out of commission / costs?
