Had my aircon recharged last summer, and it did something, but never really blew properly cold. Total waste of time basically. But changed my pollen filter too not long back and it made a big difference to the amount of air blowing through, but I've not actually tried the aircon since then. Though I doubt there's much point in this weather, it's gonna be pretty cold whether it's working on not! Mini Discs?? You got Betamax in there too?
