Thank you Ron for a very helpful post. I try to ward people off using the fast-fit boys. They press a button on a machine but they've no understanding of how it works. The machine pulls a vacuum so they assume that the system is leak-free. This is not necessarily the case. I fell victim with my Citroën. Two days later all the gas had gone. A proper professional mobile specialist used low pressure nitrogen and found the major leak instantly which the vacuum test hadn't picked up.

I'm pleased that you found the best solution in the end.
