As title. Basically the air con on my 306 has been completely non-functional for about a year and i've held of getting it sorted until now. I'm getting fed up with sweating my knackers off every time I drive anywhere, so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get it sorted.

Does anyone have good experiences with any of these companies that come to you? Would save a lot of hassle taking it to a garage and stuff.

Cheers chaps.

not used for a year, 99% chance somethings ****** imho. Condensors are too expensive to worth bothering about, compressors can be had cheap but still over £200 with fitting and gassing.

Try Gareth from Auto Aircon Ltd on 01277-848532 or 07739-031278

Was a diamond when diagnosing my initial problems last year, then when the condenser failed (manufacturing fault it split on a seem) he done all the work free as it was under warrenty.

Say Rikk with the green Grand Cherokee sent you :)

Kwik Fit are doing this for £40!
Doing what exactly? Scratching their chins, sucking their teeth and then telling you how much it'll cost to fix I bet, pretty much like those PC check-ups from a well known high-street retailer :rolleyes:

Sorry, i meant regassing only.

I got mine done there, no problems, regassed, gave em £40, left.

When was this?

Their website makes no mention of it.

EDIT Found it but only applies to South East England, which according to my localKW really means London and anywhere south.

EDIT 2 Halfords are doing a straight regass too.

AC Autoworks (details above) are based at Copdock/Washbrook, and they will also come out to you at work/home :)

I think that is the wrong way around, having had to replace both the Condensor and the Compressor, I can assure you that the Compressor was A LOT more expensive :)
