Yep , That would be me. But sorry i don't have time these days to work on the cars. Your best bet is just a good quality auto electrician.
Got it done mate, cost me $140. Seems ok so far.

There is a private guy in Sutherland that does it - I'll have to find his business card
Last time I got mine done, by a joker in Prestons, cost me $140, gas was gone in 3 days, took it back to the place and the bloke said it needed a 'nitrogen leak down' that would cost me about $200 and any repair and regas.
Never took it back, assumed I was getting 'ripped-off', cause he should have done a leak test first time around by my thinking.
Anyone know someone DECENT around Liverpool, thanks.
The guy definitely should have vacuumed the system and ensured it would hold a vacuum before charging it Gary.
Usually the guys doing the car A/C will go and buy a little trolley kit , This will come with the pump and all the rest of the gear. Not only that they are all buying 134a with the UV dye in it. The 134a that i get is competely clean and i have to add dye should i need itQuote:

It even goes as far as tell me on my license im not to touch car AC
Oh really didnt know that about the not being allowed to touch car ac, thats just silly.
Yeah he had his little trolley thing with the light and a bunch of other stuff. He added the dye from a syrange it wasnt in the gas. He also added the oil from a syrange.
Used his light and orange glasses to look for leaks. Soent about a hour there checking it all over n over to make sure was all good. He did a better job then the last place lol. That was 8+ years ago.
I also made sure he didnt use that cheap **** gas grtting around either.

Yeah i did.
He wasnt actually the guy I called. He was busy and sent this guy instead.
He didnt wanna come at first when he found out it was a n14. As apparently they are a pita. But he was happy and said i did a good job.
