Hi Mozz, either the gas pressure is low or the clutch is slipping. Low gas pressure is usually a leaking condensor but can also be a pin hole in one of the pipes. Take it to **** Fit and get them to check the gas and if no gas do a leak test.:)
 
Hi mozz. Sounds like a good job done. Like said take to quick fit they will do a leak test and if it's leaking there's no charge. Mine was a knackered condenser so changed that and the receiver / dryer and now all good!

Good luck fella
 
Mozz there is a fix for the slipping clutch if it is slipping on rangerover net have a look .When they regass the system they usually put it in vacuum mode for a while to test for leaks they are not allowed to gas it if there isa faulthope this helps

I smile even more paying between £1.06 and £1.11 a litre for diesel plus 24 mpg or better;):):):)
 
Fitting the condenser is pretty easy too, even I (nearly) managed it. On mine one of the AC pipes had corroded itself to the condenser, hence I had to get a new one of those too. About £130 for the condenser and £50 for the pipe.

Mines being regassed on Monday, fingers crossed.

That was an expensive condensor, is it a Vogue or gold plated:eek:
 
It was a brand new Hella(?) part from Island 4x4 if memory serves. Those prices include VAT.

There were cheaper options but I went for the more expensive brand I recognised.
