Sorry for those who know my own story with Jemca, Croydon but to repeat I bought a 1 owner 100 from them. I went to see it in the workshop and told the engineer there it had to be properly serviced. I collected it and inspected it when I got home and found the following.
1. 4 mismatched tyres.
2 LARGE hole in spare, obviously flat and scrap.
3. Propshafts not greased.
4. Air filter and housing full of pine needles.
5. Washer bottle not full.
6. Damaged front hubs and wheels. Long story but THEY did it. Wheels and hubs were perfect when I saw them down there and off.
7. No rear air con. Pipes cut off in engine bay.
They gave me a posh certificate saying the car had been prepared to "the highest possible standard".
They paid me nearly £2000 to put everything right and I only found the air con fault 2 years after I bought.
Tony I don't think you can or should service air con. If it's working it cannot be serviced. If it does not work it has at least a leak. Contrary to popular belief the gas does not come out slowly naturally so it cannot be "topped" up if low.
