Sid,
My German mechanic that uses nothing but dealer Benz parts has a stock of it, not sure where he got it. I am not sure what he wants to charge me to change over my system. These two things might be closely related!
I understand that there is an R12 that can still be bought that has some modification but works, not sure of the name.
I also hear R12 is cheap and plentiful in Mexico but that's a bit far for you and a bit dangerous for me.

So the BIG question from me,,, IS there any R12 still available? My '85 300SD is in need of a re-charging, and am wondering if I had to go with R134, which I understand to be more corrosive. My only window that still works is the front passenger's one, and the sunroof, which just lets the sun bear in on there days. Even here near Niagara Falls, it has been up to the mid 90s!
