Most excellent advice, I'll do that when a weekend opens up. Unfortunately that was not possible this month. Up here in Ontario we move between igloos to frying eggs. I don't think the refrigerant has to completely leak out again for a problem to be diagnosed.

Yup Everything is better. The pressure behaved itself & the recharge worked. I am not sure why but the engine needed to sit overnight. I'm wondering - if there is no coolant in the system & only air, does air compress more than coolant. So if the engine is just shut off, & the compressor...
