any local motor factor that deal with fps or wds will be able to supply you a diy kit to convert from r12 to r134 (the current a/c gas used) its only the ports and the gas that are different so an easy job, kits are around £50 upwards but also let you regas yourself.

most garages will also do this for you if they are capable, pay no more than £100 though.

try here for more details....

also halfords should do these or similar

ta nez how different are the ports any chance of pic of the r134 ports to compare with mine

Halfords sell the kits, but they're rubbish.

KwikShit will recharge your system and guarantee it. Guy from work had his done this week, £65. But that price will vary.

rubbish? why do you think that?
i have never had a problem with them, mind you, mine were not halfords.

i will see if i can sort pics, i may even still have some convertors for the ports you could have.

cheers mate much appreciated let me know if you have any ports available and how much you would want for them

ta i assume the just screw off and bolt the new ones on ??

I think the're rubbish because they are rubbish.

EDIT: Just looked at the stuff in the link you posted. That's the same junk Halfords sell.

If your air con. isn't working, a wee can of gas isn't going to fix it. Take it to a specialist and get it done right.

i beg to differ, if it only needs gas these kits are great, i know a lot of people who use them and have no issues.

matter of personal opinion i know and there are always situations where professionals will win but for what they are i think they're great.

[BAV1]

thanks for all your opinions although i totally understand your reasoning behind taking it to a professional due to the shifts i work not always poss if diy doesnt work can always try the pro

cheers for the advise

According to Bushwhacker (Vince)this weekend he brought one of fleabay for under £12 n re-gassed his 3rd Gen .... He'll be a way a few days more so ya'll have to wait till he's back for the gen ....

There's always a Payback .... Don't know where n don't know when tho !!!!
