So the 3.2's climate is on the blink again, last year had it gassed back near my parents. It still had gas in the system at the time (I was told) - pressure was good? Worked well for the summer.

Now it's warm again, no super cold air 

Rang around a few places, prices ranged from KwikKrap's £49.99 to some independents asking £89 

Vauxhall Camberley, £59 

Could not be more helpful too about sorting a time to come in, I can drop if off Friday evening, for it to be done some time Saturday morning.

Bet it's a while since they have seen an Omega

Bet one of the valves is leaking, either be the lp or hp. Might be worth having new fitted as both only cost £9.00 the pair
gets ready to be proved wrong..Compressor,condensor, pressure valve..

Good to know, will see what they say

I'd be very surprised if you drive out of Vx with a working Air Con for £59.

I was surprised at the quote, but that is their air-con re-gas cost

Had mine done last year at VX  regas,both valves (i supplied),full valet all part of the masterfit experience sir. With my £40 masterfit voucher £30.00 to pay.

If it's died inside a year, though, something's not right.

That's the price to hook it up to the machine and press the button, presumably.

A good job the parts prices are reasonable then

I've always thought so.

So dropped it off today, confirmed gas and service and diagnostic for £59.

What did I see in the forecourt? A red VXR8  apparently the owner traded it in for a black one. I hear black ones are faster 

Asked to have a sit, I had a good nose over it. Not really had a chance to get up and close to one.

The size of the brake pads  - Very meaty, looked dead easy to change, too.

So first impressions? It was a '07 so first generation, manual, cloth seats.

The seats were fantastic, really, really comfy, straight away felt comfy. Nice driving position, dash layout all very nice.

Good space in the back too, the boot was very good. Nice and big for a LPG tank  Looked a little shallow compared to Omega, but defo room for a tank.

£15k, '07, 49k Miles.

Next I wondered over to an Insignia Elite, lots of toys, memory seats ect. But no matter how much seat fiddling, still not getting comfy

Quick buy the VXR and trade in before they find the real air con problem.....

[tunnie]

Probably costs less
