Looking more closely I think it is actually coming from the joint over the rear diff. Would anyone know if the leak over the rear diff area is normally just the 'O' ring in the joint or the pipe itself, same question goes for the joint just behind the air reservoir? Seems to be a bit wet in those places. Could really do with the aircon working here :sunny:I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

Mine will be going into a garage next week to locate a leak somewhere. Seems like another wallet extraction 😣

oh dear.
Usually the pipes to the rear go, and then people blank the rear off, under the bonnet.
My rear pipes have gone, I want to cap it off. Even though I’ve got climate controls in the back can I still use the pipe that everyone else uses under the hood?

When it was regassed, did they not put the dye in to check for leaks? That might have pointed you to another problem with the system.
Also, the amount of gas for front only is less. There is a label under the bonnet which gives the amount of gas measured in grammes.

Just been back down regased all over again now it looks as though the compressor is not kicking in along with other things that need doing is it worth keeping 🤔

Dont forget compressor only does what its told so you need to check the signal to the compressor and as its a PWM signal, I dont know how you can check this at home? sure google will reveal something
A/c system is pretty simple in its basic form, if you switch it on and the pressure switch says theres enough gas it will let the compressor start.
