your car should rev up when you turn the air con on, it may just be very low on gas,either way your going to need to take it to an auto electrician for a regas or a workshop

Seeking some clarification on your problem...

Car idles at 800rpm with no air con
Car idles at 400rpm with air con engaged?

Is this the issue you're experiencing?

No mate it idles fine normally. When i turn the air con on it drops down to about 600 but if I rev car up it comes right down after almost 400 and then aircon starts clicking over and over and revs just bounce between 400 and 800.. As too previous comment air con was working fine couple days ago so not too sure but thanks anyway
