I didn't realise there was a new type of gas. Will this be used in the old system? 

Nope.  Stephens covered it, it's R1234YF if you want to Google it.

    R12345yf is very expensive. It used to be about 5 times the cost of r134a . Now it's  about just over 2 times the cost. 

    Therefore a regass will be near twice as much .

    Quick update. 

     

    Took it to Kwik-fit as stated above. They vacuumed out and tested it. 

     

    No leaks detected and refilled up. 

    Freezing cold air now on both sides of car. 

     

    Thanks all
