Told by garage to replace my air conditioning motor, would be £300? Could I do it myself as an enthusiastic amateur?

You need to have the system discharged by a professional, you can't let it go in to the atmosphere, special equipment is required to re gas the system, you need refrigerant oil for the seals, and special oil for the compressor, best to pay the money and get this done right first time, if the cost is a factor, get a few quotes first.
