I wanted to know what gas I should get my air conditioning re-pressurised with. It used to be detailed in a posting on the www.lexusclub.co.uk site, but they closed down their forum! It's a was a big shame, I assume everyone has started using this discussion forum.

Is there any point in asking Jimi if he will add a link to this site for those wishing to talk to other Soarer owners. In my opinion he lost the whole community feel when he got rid of the discussion forums. Oh well I'm sure his Auction page is making him more money now!

The production of R12 was banned in 1993 and most manufactures started using the new R134a from 1994. The use of exsting stock of R12 was banned from 2001. R12 and R134a do not mix and the only correct way to recharge a R12 system is to have it converted to R134a, there are some so called drop in replacements about but you need to be careful as some are inflammable.

R12 refrigerant was used in air/con systems up to 1995 when its production was banned in the EU.Since 1995 R134a has been used. If you look in your yellow pages you will find companies that will service or recharge them for you.
