I think this topic has come up before - try having a quick look in the archives for more detailed info but the easist way to tell which flavour you've got is to loo at the fittings on the ends of the filling pipe for the aircon, the R134 has a different fitting (can't remember exactly what it looks like though so surf the archives)

Thought the r12 was banned for use.
Not to friendly to the ozon layer I believe.
I think it's been banned for more than 2,5 years.
I know my old girl had the bad stuff in her, but I don't have an a/c problem.... yet.
I was told the a/c specialist could tell by looking at the refill coupling on the car what kind of gass was in the system.
I havent had a chance to check yet but isnt R12 still freely available in the State????
Is there anything to stop me getting it from there? 
You'd need a bloody long pipe
R12 is now illegal to use in the UK, and therefore probably all of Europe, and therefore the car must be converted to R134a which I believe involves simply replacing the filter/drier.
IF it was re-charged 2 - 3 years ago it will most certainly have R134a in it.
