Probably not worth refilling yourself, you can get a "service"/top-up at Kwik-fit type places for about £50. To do it yourself you need a set of pressure gauges and a very good vacuum pump, so you evacuate the system and remove all the moisture (very low levels or you'll kill it again) and to be able to re-charge, plus anyone with any sense shouldn't just sell you a can of refrigerant, it's a specialist job. Sorry. Fitting DIY should be no problem though.
What he says. Forget the DIY recharge kits sold in some accessory shops, waste of money.

fair play...
Ill swap compressors over then get it charged elsewhere...
Did consider that.. it appears no cheaper to diy recharge anyway!
