Dont suppose when you twatted the low wall its bent your trailing arm or the chassis mount for it? As someone said it does look like the rubber do-nut is under axial compression. Could the whole axle be forward at the twatted side? You could measure the distance between front and rear outriggers at both sides. Cheers. Bigbird

Thanks for that Peterla, I'll strip it down to find the TX valve and split it there, then I should be able to flush each way back to the filter dryer and compressor, the do the condensor on its own. Thanks for your help. Should maybe have put this in a separate post. Will do next time. Cheers. Bigbird.

Peterla, I have a new Expansion valve to fit which was supplied with re-con compressor, and a new filter/dryer, otherwise yes, I was hoping to avoid stripping it down too far, just flush it, fit new compressor then take it to have it recharged. I've had it converted from R12 to R134 with the correct oil in the compressor. Just needed to know a suitable substance to flush through it in case there is any bits of compressor in it. I might not bother with the Expansion valve as the thing was working fine befre the compressor siezed. Cheers Bigbird.

Thank for that Les. Suppose I'll find out more once the rots cut out. Having fun with the rear floor right now. Cheers Bigbird

Les, Nice pics. I'm looking to do the same on mine but its 2 door. Will I have to remove the outer rear wing? Just started doing the whole rear floor. Ya got to start somewhere! Cheers Bigbird.

Hi, Good informative post that. Can I just ask how Peterla flushed the system? I'm just about to fit a replacement compressor and advised to flush the system first or invalidate the warranty. Thanks in advance Bigbird.
