Aircon re-gassing
My aircon has given up the ghost. Assuming that it's simply a re-gassing job (the car is 16 yrs old) is there anything I should be aware of before getting it done, potential hazards I can mitigate?

Nothing I am aware of
Takes an hour or two I think.. worked well on mine

Nah, just drop it into a local air con centre. They hook up an automatic machine that empties it, fills it, leak tests it etc.

so basic even KwakFart can do it. bare in mind if any leaks are detected whoever does it can't recharge it. So beware of "sorry mate found a leak that will cost £XXXX"

Your aircon exchanger thing is probably rusted to ****.. you could replace that but not cheap I think

Any proper specialist will do a proper pressure test before they try to re-gas so just check there's no call out charge. Kwik fit used to make no charge if they coukdn't re-gas.
