Vehicle Air Con Servicing in Edinburgh?

I just bought a 2001 Ford Puma privately and found A/C does not work.

The A/C blows out normal cool air as if it had no A/C. My reckoning is that it needs to be recharged.

Anyone know a place in Edinburgh that will recharge/re-gas it for me at a reasonable cost? I'm trying to avoid my local Ford Dealership as I have grown rather attached to my arm and leg.

Any serious answers would be appreciated.

Answers:
I checked out the Daily Telegraph 'Honest John' book, but there are no Aircon specialists listed in Edinburgh.

Check out www.honestjohn.co.uk

Also check out www.autoair.co.uk

Coolair UK Ltd apparently guarantees its work - 01522-68228 - ask for your nearest dealer

I also understand that some Halfords Branches do aircon work.

Aircon can be a minefield, and is rarely cheap. My own experiences with a Mercedes are very unhappy!

Shop around, and try to be sure that whoever you go to really does know what they are talking about - with so many cars now having aircon, lots of cowboys are jumping on the band wagon.

For the future, remember that you should run the aircon AT LEAST once every week, if not all the time, because otherwise the seals will dry out, and you will lose the gas. New seals are the only answer if this happens.

Sorry this is not good news for you.
why do you need air con in Scotland?
why is it low? does it have a leak? also it may just be a bad ac relay. take it to somebody who will do the proper diag to fix it right the first time otherwise ur just pissing away ur money
