Kwik Fit's charge £45 which is pretty darn good in my books.

Warning, Thread resurrection!
lol

Just checking, but does this mean REV3 all use R134a? Mine is typically running low when I'm thinking of selling, so I was going to get it topped up. Is there any way to tell what gas it needs?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw an R134a sticker on the engine bay lid!
