My 1998 P38a has a slow leak (3 weeks to go down) in the evaporator unit of the a/c, behind the dashboard. My local LR agent has quoted about £1300 to replace it, made up of £280 for the part, 9 hours' labour (because of all the dismantling needed) and VAT.
Does anyone have a less painful solution?

If the unit is leaking, then there is no real alternative to replacing it, AFAIAA, there is no magic sealant stuff for A/C.
Alternatives....
Independent land rover garage, fitting second-hand part?
If you are feeling brave, buy the part, strip the dash, then get your local mobile A/C dude down to change the evap before you rebuild the dash.
Definately what i would do! go buy a haynes manual!

Have Haynes brought out a manual for the P38a?????

So BoB-B was, like
No.
Besides their instructions would be somthing along the lines of remove dash. Refit is the revese of removal procedure.
Alternatively, "this job is best left to the professionals so take your wagong to your nearest Approved dealer. "
Unless you can get your hands on a decent mannual (prefer LR workshop man) don't waste your money on the haynes.

It'll only tell you "overhauling the is difficult and best left to a suitably-equipped garage". Buggrem.
Amazes me that they list stripdown and rebuild for the engines and then say gearboxes are too complicated.
One day I'll write to 'em about it.
