Hello all forum members, not sure if I've posted in the right place but I just wanted to share an excellent a/c engineer's services. My 1991 560SEL suffered the usual nonsense from the previous owner about the a/c just needing regassing to magically come to life again. Against my better judgement I still took a punt and bought the car anyway ( having suffered from an expensive weakness for w126s for about 25 year now...).
I know that R134a is now king but I thought I'd google for anyone who might be honest and competent enough to get the RS24 in and tell me if the whole process was worth doing beforehand rather than just regas, get paid and drive away as quickly as possible.
I had the great fortune to find a chap operating out of the Surrey area called Paul Clements on 0794 107 3136 ( Mobile car air conditioning service Surrey 0794 107 31 36 ) who checked my entire a/c system first for leaks, then if the compressor was a "gonna" or not and then in went the RS24. What a relief to feel the cold air coming out of the vents !
So if you have an old w124, 123, 126, 140, 201 etc etc you could do a lot worse.
