how can i fix renault megane air con unit?

I've just recently bought a renault megane 1.5dci 100 and due to the recent warm weather i decided to put the air con on but it just seems to be blowing out the same temp air as if it was just set to cold on the main heater, any ideas would be grately appreciated

im an engineer in this industry and what keith said is right, run it for 30 mins a month and you should be fine. dont listen to garages when they say it should be re-gassed every year, thats just a money making scam and it gives us engineers a bad name when they do this.

sounds like it's lost is charge of gas in the refrigeration circuit. could be a leaky hose or condenser but usuall it leaks out pump seals as it has not been used should run the air con for 20 mins every month to keep the seals in good order. try having it regassed about£40-50
