It's illegal to gas up a leaking system and what makes you think it will last a day?

It's a very slow leak. Condenser is already ordered
Another original part Trigger.
. Change the condenser and use Kwikfit or ATS, if it doesn't blow out cold air you don't pay

Must be cheaper in France Keith. By the time you buy the gas canister then you have to buy the connector it worked out cheaper to go to KF or ATS. KF did mine but it didn't blow cold air so no charge. Turned out to be a bad connection at the duel pressure switch. Cleaned up, all working, happy days.

A garage refill here is about £60 with no guarantee. I ordered a DIY kit from the States, came with connectors and pressure gauge, total cost was about £30. The plan was to get a professional re-gas when I was sure it was fixed, but it worked so well I have never botheredMust be cheaper in France Keith.

ATS were doing it for £29.99 and KF was a bit more. They were on offer, don't know what they charge now.
