All sorted at last. Chap called Rob Brass dropped in and re-gassed the car in 30 mins flat. All acheived via the high pressure valve. Can highly recommend his service should you be in north London/Hertfordshire area and need any electrical/Air con work done. PM for details. £60 dead on.
Moral of the story? (I can hear everyone getting ready for the 'I could have told you so')

i dont know if i have the same problem as alg before,but now as the A/C seems to be working,i hear it turning on and off all the time rather than the compressor working steadily to produce cold air.
Cold air is coming out of the vents,however it seems to be doing so slower than before.I have regassed it recently(a couple of weeks ago) and the climate temperature is set to 20degrees when outside temp is 34 and above.
I would like to ask,is the dashboard temp sensor and the headliner sensor the ones that the climate is taking into account to make the climate work depending on indoor temperature??

On the compressor is an unusual fitting which doesnt fit a fridgie's gauge block for doing an accurate low pressure charge. I had the fitting converted to the common style fitment so it can be filled and vac'd from the low pressure side. The fitting came off a brand new Saab compressor and makes filling so much easier as the gas doesnt have to be squeezed in.Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.--:Albert Einstein

nice solution Graham,
it turned out i had only 150gr of Freon on the system and i cannot figure out where it got lost!!!I regassed again and used the special coloured oil to locate leakes,did some tests with the goggles and the ultrasound gun,and found no leaks on any of the main tubes,nor on the condesender itself...
So far the A/C is working properly so i dont do anything about it still.Maybe i can get a hold of a new condesender at some point...

if i had a leak inside the car,wouldnt that smell??
i have no smell,and UV didnt help me find a leak.Either i dont have one and improper regass was made,or it is so small,it was unoticable...either way it is frustrating to the poing im going to replace all hoses and condesender along with the kompressor and be done with it...but not now!
thankfully,european countries dont really need A/C at this moment so im OK.
