Yep, there is only 1 port and that is the high pressure one..

I would NOT under any circumstances recommend the DIY kits as you can never know how much refigerant is in the system. Too much will quickly wreck the compressor.. and at £1000 ain't cheap..

In wiltshire there is a local independant offering a regas for £19.99. However the average is around £29.99 - £39.99

£45 at Kwikfit. tops up the gas and compressor oil.
takes 1.5hr due to there only been the high pressure port(other makes /models take half that time)

Rubbish, Its got nothing to do with wether there are 1 or 2 ports as the time to perform it is exactly the same in either setup.

The recommended times for Degas/Regas as specified by most A/C service equipment maufacturers is:
20 mins to take gas out and vacumn
10 mins vacumn hold to check for leaks
1 min to regas including injecting oil and dye

Done
