Can anyone tell me a part number for the air con belt on my LN130, and what gas to put in it please?
Take it to an air-con specialist. If it hasn't been converted to the correct "new" gas it will need flushing, the fittings changing and the system re-gassing.
Just a thought but I bought the set of belts and replaced mine a couple of weeks ago, however as I live in not so sunny scotland I decided to rip all the air con nonsense out so should have the belt lying around somewhere (brand new). If I find it it's your's, i'll let you know as soon as.

Thanks mate didn't know it was as straight forward as that, so they just flush out the old gas and put in the new gas ?
I'll give that a shot.
Cheers

Cheers mate, but you have got me thinking about doing all the belts now

Assuming there are no leaks, yes.
As far as I know they should be able to flush the system with a dye to check for leaks and then decide whether it would be worth replacing any dodgy seals/pipes or if it would be an uneconomical repair.
The fittings have to be changed where the gas is pumped in/out of the system because the fittings are specific to the "old" gas system which is no longer used (international environmental treaties, etc). The "new" gas has different fittings and the two gases should never be mixed.
I'm sure there is at least one air con specialist on the forum who will be able to tell you more but if you search for the two gases I think they are R12 (old) and R134a (new).
