    Unless you have the proper equipment you'd be better getting it done properly by a profesional. Its not just a case of filling the system up, it requires emptying and subjecting it to a vacum to chech for leaks. Then the correct amount of refrigerant has to be put back, usually by weight. Do you have those facilties ? If no then get it done properly. And there are two different types of gas, you cant mix the two.

    And the right amount of oil with leak detection dye etc.

    Agree with @Delboy777 despite the cost (leak detection by vacuum is a must before refilling) but gas cylinders etc are also expensive see ebay if you must?

    It will be double this price if your car is post 2014, as they use the more eco friendly gas. Not sure what you have as thee are two years in your profile, 2009 / 2018 ?? R134A / R1234YF gasses.

    Heading of the post: Focus Mk2 tdci ACregass

    So I would say it is a 2009 model, which uses the cheaper AC refrigerant.

    Possibly because the OP also has a Fiesta ST line which is a 2018

    Just noticed the OP is from my neck of the woods, plenty of 'proper' places to get an affordable re-gas. You don't want to mess about with that stuff, get it wrong, and literally you'll go blind...
