I had it re-gassed at the start of the year so its not that. Any ideas at all? fuse ?

Many thanks,

Might still be that if you have a slight leak somewhere. Yes, check fuses and relay first!

Does the amber light go on when you press the selector? When you press it can you hear the engine load change and the clutch engage?

The Amber light comes on but there is no change in engine noise.

does the compressor still regularly click when the air con is switched on at idle? if so sounds like it needs re-gassing and thus you have a leak.

In 5 years of ownership I have re-gassed once, It hadn't actually stopped working, I only did that because I was going on a mammoth road trip and wanted to be sure id not have an issue... so it shouldn't need doing that regularly?
