  • Almera Air-con 4 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    Haven't really bothered with the air-con since I bought the car a couple of months ago, but I've noticed that it's not very cold at all. Compressor is working, because the revs change when the air-con's switched on, and the car won't climb hills with it on! Is it likely to just need regassing

    I look after a '96 Espace with air-con. Yesterday met the owner in a social situation who said it had just failed, blowing warm air she said. When asked if it would cost more than £30 to fix (sort of) I replied with the potential for huge bills on this. I'll just leave it broken was the reply
