RAVE says you need 1100 to 1380 grams depending on vehicle = 8 to 11refills, rather than 18.

If you want to know why the price of R134a has gone through the roof ask the EU. Those bloody idiots have caused all this.

My high pressure and low pressure pipes had rubbed together just behind the top left corner of the rad where you fill it up.

Cannot remember when I last filled mine on the p38 but it was absolute bliss over the weekend. I put it on low and there were icicles forming on the vents. The L322 must be even better?!

Think they managed to get around 690g in mine which aparently is quite good for an old condenser.
Just had a look at mine out of curiosity, reqs 550g , will of course I’ll need the oil to be added after replacing the condenser and dryer

last refill on mine was local indy, but somebody I know & trust well. We did the vacuum for extra time while grabbing coffee & tea, and then filled. System needed at least 1100g. Many non-vat beer tokens exchanged and my A/C is still excellent.

I have done mine using a R134 can and leak sealer off Ebay and so far so good it took a few cans of gas as it was empty but I used the one that claims to seal leaks first. The cans are the sealed aerosol type that you puncture with the tap and gauge hose, I think they are not as good as the garages use not as cold but mines working and better than nowt at about £45
Thought I'd read this in the Freelander section just seen Range Rover so probably best to get it professionally done lol

£45 is more than my Indy charged when I had mine done a few years ago! Mind you, Wammers reckons the price has gone up.

got quoted £70 by local garage
Kwik fit do it for 70quid but obviously needs booking in.
Mine lasts about a month or so then needs doing again so I bought the halfrauds kit last time. Still working but the comp is a bit noisy so that might be where its leaking from.
Compressor is only about 200 quid from island so I might replace it next time it stops working.

I refilled mine temporarily with an aerosol from the States over 8 years ago, never got round to having it done properly and it's still working if a little weak in temperatures over 40C.

I used the halfrauds kit which was cheaper than quotes and so far working fine (well that's the kiss of death then)
