Mine is also a rev2 aka 92 and I've thought about getting it regassed but was aware that the stuff had been banned,however

Ive heard RS24 can be used as direct replacement, and is CFC ok, anyone tried it

My car is an import, or was made before 1994, and has R12 refrigerant. Can this be re-gassed, or ‘retrofitted’?

We are also able to ‘Retro-fit’ older vehicles carrying the now banned R12 refrigerant. This was fitted to vehicles prior to 1994. We can use an industry accepted replacement gas called RS24. This gas, although expensive, will avoid the need to replace all the major mechanical components of the system, and will prove to be almost identical to the now banned R12

Also found this http://www.subzeroac.co.uk/

might ask around for this stuff instead. at least this could be used to test my system to see if it works (I can hope)

Hope this helps Paul :thumleft:
