AboutJohn McInnis Expertise Land Rover Discovery.
I've had most of the common mechanical failures, altenator, water leaks, wiper failure, door/hinge problems, roof rust, floor rust, loads of electrical problems. Remember, I'm not a dealer or a mechanic, just an owner like most of you.
Experience
Experience Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
Question a/c blowing hot air today, worked fine last week.
Can I add freon myself, if so how is it done on this vehicle? I've done it on american car is this any different?
Answer Hi Jalon,
by Freon, you actually mean R-134a. Freon is no longer used.
You can add R-134a to the low pressure hose and it will have a cap with an L stamped in it. Follow the directions on the R-134a kit and you'll be ok. Yes, its the same as any American vehicle.
Note: should be ok with one can, perhaps two. You may want to have the system checked for leaks - just in case.
