Retrofit a/c

[phantomD]

I was wearing protective glasses but not ones designed to highlight the UV, and I did miss the leak, it's in the compressor shaft seal. The system has now cut out completely this morning due to a lack of refrigerant in the system.

I was quoted an exorbitant amount for a compressor refurb, but I don't think it needs it so I'm going to be cheap and just replace the seals.

With the a/c on the car will idle high after clutching in to stop until you do one of two things: a) rev the engine or b)turn the a/c off then back on.

I assume that the fast idle actuator is simply a bit sticky? Or could there be something more sinister going on further down the line?
