I need to replace a Aircon hose on my 1999 Freelander XDI so I need to drain the system first but can not find a drain plug anywhere.

Is there one?

Surely the pressure should be released before I take off the damaged hose?

Any advise anyone please?
 
You can't just let the gas go into atmosphere. It should be removed by an air-con specialist (mobile ones exist). It will probably be as cheap to have them replace the damaged pipe as well since the system will need rechargiing with gas anyway.

Just done a search on google and I think the green fluid is Leak detector fluid that was put in the ststem last time I had a leak.

The gas has probably already escaped through the split hose so I think I will just change it anyway!

Kwikfit recharge aircon systems for around £40 so I am going to take it there once I've changed the hose.
