To be honest, don`t use the air-con that much, as prefer to have windows open. But do turn it on and give it a run on a regular basis as i believe you are suppose to do to keep it lubricated?
Anyway, have been out for a spin this morning, and decided that today (approx 28 degrees) would be a good day to have windows up and air-con full on.
Switched it on, and it seemed to take ages to get cool. It usually is ice cold, and after 10 miles was still only blowing what was at best cool air, not enought to cool the cabin.
When i switched it on the blue light was comming on etc but just didn`t get cold. The only difference i noticed is that when i normally switch it on, you get a very slight click/jault/change in revs momentarilly. Today it didn`t seem to do that.
Could it just need regassing, or anything else that may be worth checking.
Cheers.

Thanks for that Graham.
Just taken her out again, and the IC is ON, and both the PR and CL are showing as OFF.

Is this the same in Tamoras? Mine wouldn't switch on at the weekend, did wonder if it was a bad connection on the switch.
Fan works fine but the blue LED will not light up and no cold air.

Cheers.

Same on Tams,
Possible that power supply to a/c clutch is servered.
Try the red to white wire bullet connector on top on pump.

Thanks for the help guys, just got back from having it re-gassed. They fitted a new valve as one was slightly leaking and the switch that engages the clutch was sticking (it needed the special TVR tool to sort it, a Hammerhehe)a slight tap engaged it, so ordered a new switch which hopefully will sort itthumbup
