Peter Scott used to have a page about air conditioning issues (can't find it now) and I am pretty sure he replaced the TX valve from under the bonnet. But it was a long time ago and I could be wrong.

Just curious, did you try a search on "TX"?

on the A70 Supras the TX valve is behind the glove box, and I swapped mine myself, wasn;t sooo bad

but Soarer could be a bit of a bitch because everything is a bitch to take off internally because it's made to look prettier

In theory at least it should only be the glovebox section, that is if the stuff is in the same location as most other cars of course :-)

Glovebox takes only 2 minutes to take off. It's one big piece. You'll have to undo the bottom aircond filter covers, and then undo four screws, two of which are under these black blanking plates inside the glovebox. After that you disconnect the two wires running to the glovebox and you're done. Takes 2 minutes tops.

I haven't seen or done a soarer one and I doubt a pic of my old one from my Supra would help (not even sure if I still have it around to take a picture of)
