Re-gassing it is the problem. The fitting is easy. I'd hit up a couple of places for a price on fitting.

As above mate, it's also illegal to just release the a/c gas into the atmosphere, so ideally, you'd want an aircon specialist to extract the gas for you, then you swop the compressor around, then get same company to regas.
