Cars within the UK need to adhere to the 3-1-1 system: all vehicles 3 years old or more are required to have a valid MOT test certificate which needs to be renewed annually. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is tested every 12 months.

Before 2003, car owners risked voiding their warranty if they did not take their car to a dealership-approved (or owned) garage for repairs and servicing.

There is no easy way to identify refrigerant levels in your Air Con system. The pressure gauge readings provide a pressure, not the amount of refrigerant in the system. The only way to make sure you have the correct amount of refrigerant in your system is to vacate the system with use of a vacuum pump and refill with the correct weight of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer i.e. perform an Air Con service.

Specialist equipment and training is required to do this, as it is a high pressure system and the process involves recovery of refrigerant. It is ILLEGAL to vent the refrigerant into the environment. Refrigerants are very dangerous to handle, and can easily cause freeze burns if they come into contact with skin. To ensure removal of all moisture the system needs to be pulled down to a near total vacuum, which cannot be achieved without specialist equipment.
