Check your condenser, had the same with mine last year, had to replace the condenser due to it being rotten away

If you haven't been running it periodically Al then you'll have lost your gas to the atmosphere.

Try Adrad in your browser. £205. The pipe that comes out the top of the condenser is welded in now. No o-rings needed. Much cheaper than Rimmer Bros.

Well it's been done.
Had the system flushed, pressure tested and recharged. Everything is working fine. BUT The man suggested that if this time next year the air con is not working that it may be a slow leak. If this is the case would I correct in assuming this is a specialist job? If that's the case what cost am I looking at? ALL suggestions WILL be gratefully received.
