Could just need regassing mate.

There is a pressure switch on the A/C system, and if its under pressure, it wont allow the compressor to turn on.

That is, you need to get the system re-pressurised at an air con specialist.

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

^^^^^^^^^

Yes, not somewhere like KwickFit who do not have the ability to diagnose faults etc.  Nor will they be able to properly service the system.

I was told when your car doesn't have any gas in the air con unit it can make the seals perish, so I would get it done sooner rather than later :y

To check compressor, pull off leccy plug and check power at plug (use meter or bulb to earth).  Note which is live feed pin on compressor, then connect live feed from a 12v battery to this and briefly connect other pin to the earth terminal - you should hear clutch in compressor click over (quite loud).  No noise compressor knackered - this is usual fault with these.  If compressor ok probably requires regassing.
