I am going to spend £60 getting the air con re-gassed so I don't need the bleeding windows and just leave them well alone!!!!

Go to halfords and buy the regass/oil/leak stop can and do it yourself for £20 in about 3 minutes. Have the car running with air con on full, take the black cap off the air con pipe, pop on the thing off the can over the schraeder valve, press can until the guage shows as filled. easy. Did mine on my vectra the other day. Wear gloves though otherwise your fingers will turbn to lollypops and fall off :)

What does regass mean?

Air con system partly works by compressing gas (like freon) to a liquid like a freezer. When they stop working it's normally because it needs new gas putting in
