    Sealant fluids can be used if your compressor isn't 13 years old and likely to expire anyway, but seeing as the compressors on our cars are of pretty poor chassis design and are located in a very hot area with little cooling so suffer from serious heat soak and cycling, they all die through the chassis seal going, and sealant fluids won't really help with that.

    I got a re-manufactured Denso compressor for £350 in the summer and it was definitely worth paying for!

      I hate to but in here but VACS that the other guy (dan b) mentioned a while ago supplied me with a new shaft seal for my compressor,and the guy who said there's no low pressure access port on the system I think will find it's on top of the compressor,you have to move the aux. radiator out of the way but that's par for the course on these.

        if you dont use your AC there should be some major problems on it.... as other says...
        my ac wont work those days too, but it is why outhetr temperature is too low so ac wont start (i guess that limit tempereatur when ac wont start is about 3c), othe possible error is, that you dont have enougt gas on it.....
        about gas converison, my friend does it on his bus, without any other modifications, and it works, but he has now major ac leak, and he has to refill AC every year
