Halfords and they do money back if there's a leak in the system, watch out for indis not doing it right, sometime they dont put PAG in it to save ££Struggling to find someone who can sort my airconneeds a leak test followed by a flush and fresh oil before thinking about gassing.
Most only seem capable of regassing and checking for leaks

They'll put fresh oil in and recover the old as part of the regas. My indie does anyway. Normally it is the condenser that leaks.

I've not had a condenser fitted for a long time, there could be all sorts floating about
I've got a new condenser and dryer ready to go on

Started the scrapper; first time this year. Took a few goes but once going ran perfectly. Brakes took a long while to firm up. That gave me a bit of a shock as I was already moving in LOW and struggled to stop it!

Most likely just a bot of moisture and the dryer will sort that. Hopefully there was enough oil to prevent rust.

Pump still turns, if that is anything to go by

Vacuum will sort the moisture too.
No need to extract the old/ancient oil? No idea how much is in, if any

Sounds good. I reckon you will get away with it.

They should do that with the regas.
I don't know if the machine flushes as well, ring and ask?
Part of the regas is they extract everything in your system, run it through a filter to clean it, then put it back with extra where needed. But they'll charge you as though they put in all new. So if they extract 450g from a 500g system, they'll bill you for 500g.

Fit the new bits they should vacuum test it first,if it holds vacuum they then add the appropriate ammount of oil and gas.I've not had a condenser fitted for a long time, there could be all sorts floating about

- Scotland,
Finally took a proper look at what was done two weeks ago
As well as what is on pic, they also fixed the incredibly irritating intermittent handbrake warning. At some point someone has been incredibly heavy handed, and put enough pressure through it to bend the plate
CD player replaced and seems happy now
Front track rod and track rod assembly replaced. I knew something was off but couldn't get under to see. The difference is quite noticeable . Yaay
New latches on lower tailgate, and trim sorted.
Now I just need to see about the A/C. New unit and regas needed Could be worse. Could be Saudi without A/C , rather than Scotland
All in all good job and Golden Girl at 19yrs old still looks great

Sounds like a good service, wonder what they flushed the oil with?
