Auto Electrician Recommendations

[lwells]

Hi All,

Finally got around to getting my aircon converted to R134a. Good news is the conversion went A-OK, the compressor is fine, and the system isn't leaking. Bad news is that its not automatically switching on.

The guy who did the conversion said he could manually force it on (hence he knows it works), but for whatever reason the car wasn't doing it automatically -- he said it was a "high side electrical problem".

What is it with these cars? You fix one thing, and then something else breaks?!

So, does anyone know a good sparkie they can recommend, preferably in the inner west (but I am guessing that is unlikely: have car, will travel)?

Edit: I am tempted to dump it at the local auto-elec and give them a copy of relevant section from the workshop manual, but I guess I would rather someone with some experience with Skylines.

Cheers,

Lucien.

clean and gets it done with no fuss

don't fix this then, it could be the engine next

Well you would know about engines wouldn't you Duncan

Mr 32: Thanks for the recommendation. I might have a more thorough shot at solving it myself first though

Inner west (Leichhardt to be specific), or Wollongong.
