[Cremulator]

So after last weekend trip, I have no A/C and the thrust bearing for the clutch is screaming it tits off, well since our last Cape Jaffa trip this all started when I stupidly flogged the Patrol in 37c heat with the van in tow whilst using 5th gear. I managed to cook the gearbox oil and ever since the thrust bearing has been noisy, but a whole lot worse now.

As far as I know, if the A/c is not turning on, its either and electrical issue, blown fuse or broken connection somewhere. Or, its out of gas. So I need to sort that out. Then theres the clutch. No easy way out of this so I will be paying someone to do this. @Alitis007. I'll be calling you soon mate.

I had to troubleshoot my aircon not turning on too. A mechanic mate of mine helped me and we resolved it in less than 10mins.

First, take this little cap off and press the valve in *briefly* to check there is gas in the system.
**It's marked with an L for low, DO NOT press in the side near the radiator marked with an H, that is high pressure**
If there is gas in the system, it's either a problem with the compressor, electrics or control module.

My problem ended up being a dirty contact in this terminal preventing the receiver/dryer from switching the system on.

I cleaned the contacts in this plug with some electrical contact cleaner and it worked perfectly again!
Hopefully yours is an easy fix too!
