do not disconnect the gas pipes - it is a criminal offence to knowingly release gases to the atmosphere! Only registered peeps can do it, but if the system has been de-gassed then it is then ok.
Haynes do a generic automotive air con manual that I found useful when sorting mine outCheers MHM!
I guess this begs the million dollar question...
How does a DIYer even know if the system is degassed?
Also, is there a 'howto' on disco 2 air con maintenance?
I'm up for most DIY mechanics but I don't want to break the law or destroy the environment. Similarly I don't want to empty my wallet if I can avoid it![]()
I assumed all new cars come with air con or climate control as standard.Yup - mine's been broken for a few years. One or two days a year it makes the car uncomfortable, I leave a window down or sun roof open.
If I was ordering a new car, I wouldn't pay for A/C as an extra....but then again I live in Scotland
If I take the Disco back abroad in summer, I WOULD fix and re-gas it, but not for running about in Scotland and N England...
I had assumed that mine had already leaked into teh atmposphere, that's why its not working?...maybe not?

I've got my 'F' gas certdo not disconnect the gas pipes - it is a criminal offence to knowingly release gases to the atmosphere! Only registered peeps can do it, but if the system has been de-gassed then it is then ok - but yu will have to pay to have it regassed - about £60 a time.
