Bought my car a few years ago, the aircon used to work fantastic. But recently it's stopped blowing out cold air. Only regular (warmish) fan air comes out.

When I turn on the AC I used to hear a hissing/pressurising sound coming from the dash, it would go for about 3 seconds then stop and that's when the air turned cold. But now I turn it on, hear the sound, but the sound doesn't stop.

Is it likely my aircon just needs regassing? Or a leak somewhere?

There's a number of reasons why the A/C is not getting cold.

First turn the A/C on

Let it run for a minute or 2. Open the bonnet and touch the low side line (larger pipe) coming from the firewall, it should be very cold.
