Good advice, beware though , there are a few garages who advertise and claim to empty the system, re-gas, re-oil, put dye in and check for leaks but really only do a 10minute gas top-up and charge you 55 knicker. Steer clear and go for recognized A/C specialists, I've found LSUK ( Lucas of old ) to be very reliable. Be Cool

Just got mine done with my usual guy. Full de-gas, vac, dye, re-gas and check for £50. He had just got one of the latest machines that measures/gases/de-gasses everything digitaly, nice. Woo Hoo, cold air again

http://www.acornmotors.co.uk/ The guys name is Ray but based in high wycombe, which I think is a bit far for you paul as he does not travel. What you would spent on fuel would far outweigh any saving on the re-gas

Just a quick question, how is the oil topped up. Because at everry "AC car specialist" over here, they never heard of such thing . All the know & do is check the pressure and "top-up"

With mine, it was done automaticly by the machine, which I think is 260g and mixed with the gas as it is filled. I would check around because you have guys that will travel and do the works, the downside is that they can be expensive. Most quotes I had were £75-£85 in the Bucks/North London area.

So the oil enters on the same valve as the gas. That's good to know, sorry about for the location, i'm not from England

oil is mixed with the gas so when refilling it also tops up the oil
