    Hi

    does anyone know anywhere preferrably in Dublin West, where I can get the air conditoning unit in my car filled?

    Is it something you need to book or can you bring your car in and it gets done quickly? I heard that you can even go to electrical places that service fridges for it.

    J.

    Because it doesn't have any gas in it so I need to get it filled. It doesn't have a problem, it just does not have any gas.

    There's a guy called John Kenealy in Tallaght who'll do it. I don't have his number on me, but it's in the book.

    If it doesn't have a problem how did the gas leak?? These are supposed to be sealed systems, did you fix the leak? Did you then pressure test the system, did you then vac out the system? It that wasn't done, you're wasting your time and money getting a new gas charge.

    It had a new pipe fitted but the mechanic didn't have the facility for gassing it.

    That's John Kenealy! I don't think he charges much more than €60 either.

    There's a John Kenealy in the Business Section of the telephone directory but the address appears to be a residential area. Is that him?

    Thanks Anan1. I must give him a call. My AC doesn't appear to be working lately. It's supposed to come on automatically each time the engine is started but I've noticed the windows fogging up a lot more recently.

    I used John Kenealy in the summer to re-gas my air con and would recommend him. His no. is 087-2559706
