Is that what i need?

Thats what i used, and it worked (to a degree) but i've got a problem with my air con as it looses its gas after about 48 hours, so i need to get it fixed.
If you are not sure how to use it take a look at the 'Easy Push-button Recharging with Measure & Charge' video on this web site http://www.id-usa.com/how_to_videos.asp
Its buy the same people who make the tins that halfords sell.

That's a great link Andy, thanks for that.
Mine needs doing as well, so I might get me one of those recharger cans from Halfords, especially as it has the guage which can be re-used to check the system.
The only thing is, is it difficult to get to the service port and see the compressor on a 172? I honestly wouldn't know where to look under the bonnet.

NO, i would say steer clear, as when it's done properly the system is emptied( sucked out).
causing a vacuum (this can also show if system is leaking) then refilled with approx 780g of freeon 2g oil 2g dye.
If you put any moisture whatsoever into system YOU will f**k it up!
Then £39 compared to putting it right don't look cheap, also DIY no comeback, garage does it you have a case!!!!!!!!!!!

I went down to Halfords this afternoon and bought that re-gassing bottle/hose - £39.99
When I got it home and tested it out the guage on the bottle said I had the correct amount/pressure of refrigerant in there already. I gave it a few squirts of the refrigerant to the max recommmended level on the guage, then packaged it back up (using supplied elastic bands lol) and took it back and got a full refund!! Heh heh.
Gonna take it to the garage that told me it needed re-gassing when I had my service. They can take a look at it.
