NO the system has to be drained down , which has to be done with specialised equipment .. NOT one for DIY unless you have the equipment . Drain and refill should only cost in the region of £50.
IT REALLY IS A very SPECIALISED JOB. THE REFRIGERANT CAN CAUSE VERY NASTY BURNS IF YOU GET IT ON YOUR HANDS/SKIN.

not only burns, but is highly poisonous, particularly if you are a smoker, oil on fingers gets on fag, then burns & inhaled. its quite horrible stuff, should wear correct gloves.

If you are in the Bristol area i have a mate who regasses aircon systems. I'm sure he'll be able to do you a deal.
