Has anyone had any experience with these DIY air con recharge kits that you can get from such places as Halfords or Ebay? Was it any good? Did it do the job? Was it worth the money ? Let me know what you have had experience and any recommendations you have.

Hi, It depends if there's any gas in there already. If yes then maybe. If there's no gas in there it has leaked out and you need to find the leak and correct it, it then needs to have a vacuum pulled down and the right amount of gas put back in. So really that's a professional job.

Check for obvious leaks in your AC pipework before you go spending cash on a refill, you might have a leak where your new gas will just disappear out again! Check pipe unions and joints for an oily residue on the outside of the pipework, indicating a slow gas leak. If you need more gas the system must have leaked out somewhere.
and what Colin said!

Hi, Further to my other post, the two most common areas for leaks is a stone puncturing the condenser at the front of the car and as said a dusty oily patch, the other place is the compressor shaft seal behind the clutch pack not quite so easy to determine.
