Hi all, I have noticed that the climate control struggles to lower the temp to 18 degrees (and it's not even proper summer yet), in fact I get fed up with the fan on max for 20 mins and turn it off, so I think the air con will need regassing? Has anyone used the Halfords DIY regassing kits...

This weekend I did an oil and filter change, my first time on this car (or any other MB for that matter) Having never done it before it took me a little longer than normal, as I had to get accuainted with getting the covers off. The car is quite low to the ground so I needed to jack it up to get...
