This kit on ebay for R134a systems.....what cars does this fit?
My missus has a Rover 420 and the air con is not working, would it work with that?
Cheers.

R134a is the refrigerant .... ozone friendly stuff ... I think most, if not all are now R134a as standard.

Don't forget ... A/C is just like your fridge or freezer at home, the warm air is passed over a cooled (with R134a) element.
