Free AC degas?
Does anyone know a company down south that does a free degas of the aircon? Ive read online companies have to degas for free by law (?), so what they seem to do is require you book in for a regas at a later date which is frustrating. Right after Christmas in winter Im happy to regas at a much later date when Ive more spare cash and its a bit warmer

Operational aicon is atleast as useful during winter as summer - it keeps the windscreen clear. |

Ive no issue paying a fiver or even a tenner for a company to take it out, unfortunately the govt has seen fit to make it illegal to charge for that service, which means now most companies wont do it without booking a regas at a later date.
Thankfully my brother in laws father has offered to do it -garage owner-

I also hate such language so a double wrist slap prescribed to self. Quote:
I do not believe that there is any legal requirement relating to the charging (or otherwise) for gas removal. Would you be good enough to highlight the source of your information please? I suspect the reality is that most people would not make the effort to carry out the work for the sake of a minimal payment e.g. £5 given the cost of equipment involved and time. Offer them £30 and see what happens. Last edited by MSS; 12th January 2017 at 06:17.. |

Does no one make a home kit where you can connect it up and collect the gas in a small canister?
Seems strange if not! |

My mate's car degasses itself without any recourse to a third party It also cares not for any current regulations
BTW re-gassing around here is £25 - 35 ....... FYI.....
