Thanks so much!

One important (but for some people unnecessary) point to add is that we do not charge from the port at the receiver-dryer on pre '91 240 models... since as Chris said it is high side. I guess this can be used to monitor high side pressure.

This is an easy mistake for someone who is not sure about the TXV type system... since the suction port is hidden at the back of the compressor.

That's all for my unexperienced opinion (but successfully repaired/retrofitted/recharged TXV system). BTW following my last post, it cycles fine now. I guess being in the garage and not having insulated the expansion valve area i nthe cabin never allowed it to disengage the compressor clutch. I actually really like the user's ability to control the cycling and hence temperature with this system!

Thanks to Chris and to this brickboard in general for al lthe help and advice.
