Anyone had an evaporator expansion valve replaced on a RHD car ? ,The part is cheap but I had a look and it appear to be behind the dash which is obviously a major pain The 2 pipes go in the bulkhead and I expect the valve is right the other side of this . Removing the dash is just not an option I fancy paying for :headbang: Its criminal to fit it the wrong side of the bulkhead ! :fuelfire:

The good book says it is NOT a dash out job. The ‘special tool’ looks like a cone to make sure the ‘o’-rings aren’t perturbed.

The final instruction is to evacuate and refill the AC system.

Thanks you very much sir :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I must have a look as it will be behind the steering column so access must be tight at best :headbang:
