Re: [doc] Air con info

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

R134a is standard in modern cars, and we're not allowed to use R12 any 
more. However, there are several "drop in replacements" available. I 
have R413 and others have RS24. Don't go through the hassle of 
converting to R134a - our friends across the pond do because they can't 
get drop in replacements, and R12 is still legal, but bloomin expensive

As far as I can remember, the system can be tested and regassed with a different gas (R134?), but there is no change required on the actual compressor unit or the system. Is this correct?!
