The service book says "Perform as required at additional cost", so wouldn't have been done as standard.

It hasn't been particularly cold since I bought it a year ago and seems to have been losing more coldness over time.

Last weekend it started to make a wierd noise and then today I noticed it's almost ambient temperature air coming out.

I'm assuming it's just gas, rather than a fooked aircon system

Rich i suspect a regas should sort it, dont know if you know this but you should put it on for at least 10mins every week even in the winter as this helps to keep the seals from drying out.

Sounds odd but the garage in Rhoose is good and only about £40. Had the missus car done last year.

Hi Kev, I leave it on literally all the time anyway.

Thanks for the info though

Had mine done today by Steve:

http://www.vehicle-aircon.co.uk/

Had a full service which was £75 inc vat.

A straight regas is £55.

He didn't charge me any callout as I was 2 miles from him (Litchard).

Not sure where he lives, but he also has a garage in Maesteg.

Nice bloke, painless process so recommended!
