I see what you're referring to Neil and will take a look at how I can improve.
In other news, there was a box of parts from Vintage Air on the doorstep this afternoon and like a kid at Christmas I ran out to the shop to see if I could coax the AC to life. Removing the old TXV, I was a little disappointed when I could just blow my breath through the thing which was supposed to be stuck. At the same time, I also made sure I could blow through the new one as well. Yep, check...
In a flood of troubleshooting genius, I thought I'd make sure the compressor was compressing and fired up the motor to witness its power. All seemed to go well as I got pressure to build on the line from the condensor. The other side of the line was sucking too, so I put a check in that box and carried on.
I swapped in the new TXV and pumped down the system. Vacuum held so I proceeded with the charging. Long story short, in about an hour's time, I had the car charged and cooling. To say I was excited was a massive understatement.
I'll need to see just how effective it is on a really hot day, but right now it's blowing cold enough for me to think it'll get the job done.
I can't believe I waited this long to get it done!
