aircon level check

Hello,

I'm in Zambia and have a 1991 turbo diesel 4wd superextra. I believe the level check is a small orange glass window under the n/s, but looking at it doesn't really tell me much as the glass is misted/dirty on the inside. Is this the right thing to look at and is it obvious if there is any gas in?

Also, we'll be on long trips in the middle of nowhere, can you give any advice on essential spares and tools to carry.

Many thanks,

Chris

to check the air con just run it up and you should get about a 15degree temp difference to the ambiant air temp. For your trip lots of water and spare belts... best of luck....

To be a bit more scientific - if you stick a thermometer in the air vents with the aircon on, you should get a reading below 5 degrees C.
