Yes it was the full works, removed 350 somethings of gas and added 630 somethings and some oil.
I didn’t think it needed it because the air con was always cold but the difference was amazing.
It was £90 in total with the MOT so £50 at ATS

Sometimes they have a deal on, worth checking your local garage

May be a co incident but I did mine yesterday, I checked that all the windows went up and down. Rolling with laughter Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Windows down! Rolling with laughter

I think aircon is particularly important in a defender, it helps with keeping the moisture down, a lot of people think that aircon just means cold air, I never turn mine off it’s always on removing moisture and keep those window condensation free.

I forgot about groupon always worth a look

Pah ! Air con is for the weak, who are unable to fully appreciate the utility Land Rover experience 😁
