Yes, they are the green ones. Places like Pirtec sell them pretty cheap.

Im like Dom never been a fan of air-con and delay travelling on days 40 plus, anywhere lol
Yeah, I bought a one from US for around $30. It's not electric. It's powered by compressed air(from a compressor).
Not a bad investment.

Unless mudnut wanna put R134a compatible hydrocarbon refrigerant like mine, it would have to go to an A/C guy to get regassed. R134a is pretty much impossible to buy in Australia without an A/C license.

The system was supposed to have been serviced not long before I bought the vehicle, according to a sticker on the firewall. I think it will be a case of leave it till some cash is available. That way, the pressure of the gas should stop ingress of moisture.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Little bit of gas stays inside, and hopefully that can prevent the moisture from getting into the system.
Once the pressure drops below a certain point, the clutch won't kick in.
It might help NOT using the A/C until you're ready to fix it. That might help preserving what's left of the gas inside the system, I think.

That's what I am hoping. I won't use the bloody thing, though as I don't want oil splashing over everything.

Don't forget you need to add a bit of A/C oil as well.

Yep, it's probably better that way. Having A/C oil is one thing. Having the right tools to inject A/C oil into the system is another thing.
But, in your case I reckon oil can be added to the compressor on the bench from scratch 'cos it's a new compressor.
