How do i recharge the freon on my 2001 disco?
So i recently changed the ac compressor on my 2001 land rover discovery because it would stick when leaving it on and restarting the car making a horrible screech.
As i removed one of the hoses all my freon leaked out so now i want to know where i can refill it if i bought my own tank of r134. Also if i could get help with the amount or pressure i should put.

Enter the need for a vacuum pump. A vacuum pump does just that, it draws a vacuum and at the same time removes all non-condensibles, moisture, contaminates, etc from the system.
Let me back up a bit. Before drawing a vacuum it is highly suggested to remove and replace your filter dryer. Once new dryer is fitted then proceed to pull and vacuum.
Once you have reached a vacuum of ~30in Hg. Let it hold for approximately 30minutes - if it holds and you have verified no leaks - Break out your refrigerant scale and weigh in the proper amount of R-134a. Operate the A/C system and enjoy the cold air.
I recommend visiting a certified service station.

I didnt evacuate or put any oil simply disconnected the hoses and let the freon leak out until it stopped then changed the compressor. How do i put oil and where if its needed. It was running fine before i changed the conpressor . Also i bought my own tank so taking it to a shop kind of defeats the purpose of filling myself doesnt it?

If you have invested in a tank full of freon you've, IMO, wasted your $$$. You need a lot more kit. Do you not have Google and a computer?
Obviously you know best, your system, your choice.

Most of us on this forum want to do as much as we can ourselves with our trucks but as others have posted this is one case where you really need to take it to a shop and have the work done professionally by someone with the right equipment. Once your A/C system has been opened to the atmosphere you'll need a new receiver dryer and someone with the right equipment to install it and then vac and recharge the system.
