How to recharge MINI A/C? (instructions?)

I've done it before in other cars, but haven't in the Mini.

Does anyone know if it can be done like it can on most cars with a simple R134(or whatever it is) refrigerant refill kit?

Anyone have any tutorials or how-to's on it?

Thanks in advance.

it is exactly the same as other cars. vacuum the system to take away any moisture and recharge it with the r134.

1.1 lbs total.

Where is the canister located? I know on my other car you have to take out the inner fender lining, I haven't looked on the Mini yet.

ITs located on the drivers side near the arch. There should be a yellow cap just screw it off and then pop on your recharger cable.
