You can get a generic cap on ebay really cheap. They're all a standard size i think as the ac equipment that screws onto this port is all standard. 

Can you send me a link by any chance? I have had a look but some threads sayt they are to generic... 

Yes the part was a AC Pressure Switch Sensor. That was the fault on the cars computer. Lexus part is £300 after a quick Google. You can get an aftermarket one on eBay. He had one to hand so used that one. Fantastic result... 

I have however noticed kwik fit/halfords misplaced the tiny screw top for the ac pipe. I think it was the L one... Does anyone know where I could get one? 

Thanks everyone for the help and advice. I took it to a specialist Air con garage that was recommended to me and I am so glad that I did. The fault was showing on the cars computer as a faulty sensor. This from Lexus would of cost £100 to diagnose, £300+ for the part and god knows what to fit and then regas. 

The car was diagnosed, part charged and the car fully regassed for £110!!! 

Outstanding service, knowledge and value. If anyone ever has any AC issues and lives in Kent borders with London I fully recommed;

Mark from AirCon Direct in Northfleet in Kent. Superb

Is this something me a novice could do my self? I have no idea about these things

@Herbie thank you for replying. 

How do I get the OBD codes read. Go somewhere and get this done paid you mean or? 

Hi All, 

First time I am posting so I am new to this. After this mini heat wave we are having my aircon has decided to stop.. Sods law. I always have it on but haven't regassed in approx 3 years. It's just blowing Hot air!! I took it to Halfords they stuck it on a gauge & it showed too much pressure, chap said probably a leak or blockage. Took it to kwik fit he stuck it on a fancy machine 15/20 mins later no regassed worked and air was still hot... Not sure a) what to do b) is this a Big job c) How much are we talking?... I just forked out £400 for Four new tyres last week!! And a hybrid Battery check... And the cars due a full service!!! 

Halfords autocentre want £18/35 to Diagnostically check.. Then god knows what after 

Kwik fit need an EXPERT Mechanic to check £50/60 to check it... 

HELP ME PLEASE GUYS/GALS!!!
