Jeess.... how shiney does your motor look!!!

That's a good looking truck you have there mate, & the oil cooler looks well up to the job.

Isn't the air con bit normally a Schrader valve? Could the fitting be re-tapped/ helicoiled & a new valve fitted?

its not broken, just missing the screw cap, just not sure where to buy new ones, or if they are standard sizes?

Loz · 21-04-2010, 15:55

Is it the where the air con is recharged?

jims-terrano · 21-04-2010, 18:07

What about the guy on here that is breaking trucks? he might have a cap. Sorry I missed you last night Pete, I had too much on to come along with Clivvy, next time I won't

Jim

PS met Clivvy at weekend so we could compare the trucks, set both our minds at ease I think to hear they sound and go the same

i realise this is a silly question , but im going to ask anyway ..... what is it for ? does it actually stop the aircon from working ?

brianpaul · 21-04-2010, 20:26

Think it works like a dust cap,,,,,,,, stops stuff getting into the filler valve and letting the gas out......... PS it is now ilegal to vent aircon gas.... so when my old pipe split I was breaking the law???
