I bought my little bargain and pixed it up at the weekend, head gaskets is fine, exhaust is blowing a little bit from the middle section ( I am having a guess that it the expensive part ? roughly how much ) gearbox fine as well.

Only problems are the air con isn't blowing that clod so it needs re gassing, what the best way ( ie cheapest ) of doing this and is it hard to do it yourself ?

Also the rear seat pad is loose, is there a way for "fixing" it in or is it supposed to be able to move to get the rear seat completely flat ?

Also where would the rear boot release be ? doesn't seem to have one ( it is a face lifted CDX ).

Apart from that the car drive really nicely, wafty !

Any help gratefully recieved

If you find yourself at wheels in motion, they do aircon regasses.

boot release should be to the right of the stereo - small square button, be aware you may need to either hold it in for some time to work, or do it without the keys in the ignition, depending on age.

Yeah I don't think I have one of those at all.

I never even knew that facelifts had a boot release inside.  You learn something new everday.

About £60 for a regas, not really a DIY thing. You don`t have a remote boot release on an estate

Doh, missed the estate bit

A/C regas can't really be done effectively DIY due to special equipment required.
