If its condenser failure its bumper off job to fix which should be straightforward enough for decent independent garage or aircon man. Rough cost of unit itself £100, I bought mine a while back from Jules together with O rings etc. My first port of call would be F1.
Thanks. I went back to F1 and they said theirs was an automated re-gassing process which didn't check for leaks. The guy said that if I got the leak fixed elsewhere I could go back there for a re-gas free of charge.
