Anyone know a good place in the Swindon/Cirencester area? the a/c on the Jimny isn't working very well.

Halfords? Or your local Suzuki dealer.

You can do worse than Halfords, but you can also do cheaper. If there's one near you, I recommend the Halfords Autocentres. Technically a speparate compeny, my local one is where I get my MOT done every year. If yours is anything like mine, they should be a cheerful and relatively helpful bunch. Refilling air cons is probably going to be a regular thing for them, because it's something your average mug will notice when it breaks.

You're a bit late! Best time for a re-gas is in the Winter when they've got none going!

Had a quick look around, seems about 45 squid is the norm.
Suzuki have a deal on at the moment, don't know if that includes the filter.

Don't know if that's nation wide as I just checked "Pebly Beach Suzuki" Swindon.

I'll ask at Pebley Beach in Cirncester on Monday, otherwise I've been quoted £80 from a mobile place in Swindon.

Having it done in the winter wasn't an option as I didn't buy it till the spring and it hasn't been top of the list of things that need money.

I finally got this done today. I took the Suzuki coupon in to Pebley Beach but they had their own offer - £39.99 so I promptly binned the coupon! I finally have cold air :D
