I thought I would pass on this information concerning Mk1 LS400's
My 1990 ls400 wasnt anything like cold. The refrigerant gas is R12 which is now banned.
I read about getting a R134a retrofit but it seems that there are problems with this conversion, far from ideal. I then spoke to Air conditioning northwest 01925 762328. There is a "drop in" replacement for R12 called RS24, it uses the same lubricant, seals, everything.
Its just a case of pump out the old gas and in with the new. its a lot more expensive than R134a but the guy came to my workplace to do the job and my air-con is ice cold now. £65-00 I'm happy
