Nice bedtime reading. 😀
Ooo, that expansion valve is something I should have a look at.

Cool. If you are thinking of doing a regas then doing the valve isn’t much more work. Remove coolant tank mounts (leave the hoses on though) and you will see the two black AC pipes routing underneath.

IIRC only one of them has a join in it and gets slightly fatter.
The valves sits inside the pipe.

Edit - you might also need to unbolt where the pipe mounts to the bulkhead grommet too as there’s no flex in the pipe to move otherwise.
