Likewise!!

Think it's most commonly known as sods law. Mine is in for its service and MOT this weekend so think I'll have to see how much they're charging for a refill at the moment. Think it was about £60-£70 quid a few years back if I remember rightly.

flashing light usually means you've lost pressure. Needs a refill !

ive just seen this in another post just wondering if it will work as it just stop working strightaway it was nice and cold b4

a low gas limit light starts to flash long before it runs out . You could always boil a kettle inside the car with air on recirc with air con on fully with all vents open or use 1 of those steamer things , for 20 minutes , this kills bacteria living in the condensor .cleans it out ,rids smells and makes for ice cold air con , as recommended by air con experts , i tried it by removing the glove box on my celica , put kettle on boil for 20 minutes on recirc air , then 10 minutes on fresh air to dry it out .What a difference it made too.

I have a Gen 5 and the aircon button light starts flashing after about 10 seconds. I can hear the aircon pump start when i press the button but it turns itself off and starts to flash. The aircon specialist says there is ample pressure so it's probably a sensor. Anyone know which sensor it will be or, given one of the answers above is the aircon guy wrong and it needs more pressure than he thinks?

I have been quoted £75+ by Toyota to have them plug in a diagnostic computer and £45+ by a non-Toyota garage, but it's not just the money it's the time having to leave the car with them. My local garage doesn't have the correct computer?

Thanks in advance for any help!
