it went PTSSSSSSSSSSSS with a mist coming out from under the side of the car :(
 
rule one of owning aircon.
run it atleast once a week even in winter!

get it done quick and the moisture wont screw your receiver/dryer.

more than about 2-3 days and it will start to screw it.

thanks mate.
im hoping to get it onto the ramps tmoz
 
well if you can find the joint that did it.
crack it open and quickly replace the sealing washer
it should regas aok.
if its something else like a connection to one of the parts it might be more diff

thanks mike.
i have never done a aircon, so i thought i will see if i can repare the leak, then get a refill from halfords.
 
its not 'that' simple sadly
it might be worth your while to investigate the cause of the leak it might just be a simple joint washer gone. but there are mobile guys/garages that will do this for as little as £35-40

i've not read anything that says what you can get in halfords does a complete regas, just does a top up.

i'd think hard before i wasted the money on a diy, it might be just as cheap in the long run to use a specialist.

It's definitely not a diy job without the right, fairly expensive, kit
