Local Kwik Fit (I know, I know) are doing recharge for £45 and if they can't recharge it then you don't pay!

do it yourself Thumbs Up!

Not worth it unless you have the correct kit to remove old gas and re-charge with correct measures of gas and oil.
And certainly not with that absolute pants kit from Halfrauds Angry

Knowingly venting refrigeration gas to the atmosphere carries a hefty fine...and when I say hefty, I mean £30k rings a bell.

Jun 2009 at 20:10 http://www.coolcaraircon.co.uk/ i used these - very very good - checked it all, checked for leaks, emptied and cleaned, re gassed fully, checked again - freezing and totally efficient. cant remember cost...think about 80 or 90 quid but well worth it. dont use cheapie top ups...false economy and half of them dont do it properly.

Jun 2009 at 12:34 Done properly, which shitfit often don't, you want to be vaccing it for 45-60m, then checking it holds the vac (so no major leaks), then refilling. Don't even think of diy, it needs special equipment to properly do it.
