Sweet thanks for the reply.

on the topic of regassing aircon
Make Sure your mate or whoever does it evacuates the air con system for at least 30-45 minutes so that it gets rid of all the moisture (and gas) out of the system - THEN regas it.. thats the proper way it should be done.
there are too many dodgy people out there who will just add a bit more gas. this is not the proper way to do it. (this is the difference between a cheapo $75 regas, and a $120 proper serviced one)
Its also best to get regassed on a stinking hot day - because when they are measuring the amount of gas to put in, a hot day at least allows expansion and they can ensure they have the right amount of gas in the system. If they regas it on a cold day for example and if they then put too much gas in and havent allowed room for expansion, then youre in for trouble when a hot day comes around - but again, if theyre professional and know their sht and arent just some apprentice then you'll be fine and it wont matter when you take the car.
I know its going in a bit deep, but if you want a perfect job follow the above.

wow spot on... 100% agree
it also should be backed down properly to check for leaks
and so that the correct amount of gas is put in.
once backed down(empty) the gas bottle should be placed on scales
and the amount of gas should be weighed as it is put in,
to make sure the correct amount is put in.
