    How can you safely improve the perfomance of the standard A/C system?
    As has been implied, one way to get better performance is to change the gas, when we changed from the now banned CFC's to hydrocarbon "Care" we achieved about a 3 -5 degree better performance on freezer trucks and a noticeable improvement in my Range Rover classic's aircon.

    Don't know how a change would affect your Freelander though!

    Care 30 is a replacement for both R12 and R134a.Welcome to www.care-refrigerants.co.uk--What is CARE? and is a BOC product. You could talk to your local BOC agent and enquire about a "fridgy" using Care 30.

    You would need to remove the 134a, replace the drier and evacuate the system then add the Care 30.

    Does this Care30 fit onto the same taps that R134a does? Because i hated changing the taps when doing R12 conversions...

    Cheers!

    My brother is the fridgy - so has the adapters on his gauges so sorry I'm not sure about the fittings on the Freelander.
