I don't take it off road - its a nice old 15 yearold car with less than 100
here in the UK ( so I'm told ; I've never seen another one). It seems a
shame to thrash it about when parts are hard / slow to come by, and I can't
buy a replacement. I'll thrash the TJ instead, and use the Waggy for the
snow :-)

Actually, you don't just have to evacuate it for 134A. The desiccant
in the reciever/drier will absorb the moisture, and the small amount
of air is harmless. But you DO have to flush the old oil from the
system and blow the solvent out (do not attempt to flush out the
compressor). It makes a mess. Some 134A-compatible stop leak won't
hurt, either. You can buy reto-fit kits that contain everything but
the alcohol solvent (including adapters that make your R-12 valves
compatible with 134A recharging kits).
