Dealer has said that the A/C on the EP3 isn't working. As i'm off to Croatia late next month this will need fixing, else I'll boil.

Is the Kwik-Fit system any good at finding any leaks or do they just re-gas and let it drain out over the next few days/weeks?

Any other places that come reccomeded for this in the SE London/NW Kent area?

Last time I went in they pressure checked it first, if there were leaks and they couldn't safely re-gas it then no charge.

They didn't however seem intrested at all in looking into why it was leaking.
Hopefully it will all come good, I have noticed from the history that it had a re-gas not too long ago so think there is a leak somewhere, may try to find a local specialist.

That doesn't sound too good, with all these reports I may steer away and Bristol is a little far from me in Kent. Been looking on google for my locality and a place near me called 'Mark Transport Co/The MOT Centre' in Green St Green and the guy seemed decent over the phone.

Any experiences?

I had a possible leak on mine - it was re-gassed last year but no cold air.

Found a local mobile guy and he came out a couple of days later, spent a couple of hours in total - couldn't find a leak so he pressure tested it and we ended up re-gassing it and it's been fine since for £50.

He was a good bloke and I'm happy to recommend him if you're in Kent - he's http://gmaircon.co.uk/
