Looking to get it done when next home... after sweating my nuts off on the Edinburgh bypass in traffic queues last weekend
Any recommendations, preferably within the vicinity of the lovely Dundee?

I had a car done by a mobile guy in Glasgow last year- was fairly cheap and did a great job. I'll find out if he'll cover Dundee.

Just had the Boxster done with the recent heatwave etc
Try and get a machine that oils the system as well as replaces the gas
Some of the cheaper machines just sook it out.........and blow it in
Icy cold now

KF are a last resort - as I had a preferably unrepeated business dealing with the "manager" of KF on Perth Road in Dundee - he was no more than a jumped up tw@t - thank fook it's currently getting knocked down

Was it an independent or franchise?
I see ATS Euromaster do it (inc lubricant) for £45 - cheaper than Kwik Sh1t

The garage at the end of the road from Agra did mine, I'd use them again if I had too - although I can't remember what they're called at the mo. Avoid Kwik Fit (on the Perth Road) as they made a complete hash of it when I went there a couple of years ago...
Knocked down you say, haven't been on the Perth Road for ages, must take a look...

You mean Lawton Motors down the road from Agra?
They're now a Halfords Autocentre -

Very handy as it's just down the road from me cheers
Kwik Fit Perth Rd will undoubtedly become stoodent flats seeing as all round that area has changed lately
