Hi all
I have successfully converted my Disco to one aircon system. The system has been recharged and it's working well.
Thanks focus340 for sharing the initial howto.
Unbeknown to me, the aircon pipe that I ordered from the landrover dealer, comes with 1 set of "o" rings (small and large) already however I have ordered 2 sets, you'll need a set to use on your old connection.
So if anyone is interested I have a set left, PM with your details.

same as many. Rusted pipes to rear (under vehicle) - leaking. Read the earlier parts of this thread, get the pipe that converts it to front air-con only - fairly simple job, re gas, thats it.
Alternative is body off, not worth even thinking about imho.2014 D4 HSE Facelift Corris Grey

O rings
I’ve just taken delivery of my new air con pipes, JUR000505.
It has o rings fitted to one end but none on the other, do I need them on the other end or are they the ones already on the car?Now gone - D3 Zambezi silver. Smoked / limo windows, various LEDs, DVD in headrest screens. Side steps, GG AT's, software and Bluetooth upgrades by Bodsy.

I’m attempting this job tomorrow.
Are there any last minute tips to make it as smooth an experience as possible.
Time wise, I’ve heard people saying that they have done the job anywhere in the region of 1 to 6 hours. I think I will be at the later end.Now gone - D3 Zambezi silver. Smoked / limo windows, various LEDs, DVD in headrest screens. Side steps, GG AT's, software and Bluetooth upgrades by Bodsy.
