Unscrew the plastic cap on the aircon pipe to the bulkhead, then simply press the tip of a small screwdriver onto the valve.

If it hisses, then the system is relatively sealed so a regas should see it working again... no hiss = no gas pressure, so most likely condenser is shot, but prudent to change the valves as well whilst the system is empty

Oh dear  . .   no hiss . . . .  another job added to the list

Valves are a couple of quid each and the condenser can be had for £50ish,and you can pretty much guarantee the condenser is the problem

Been a while since I looked tbh

Had mine changed about 3 months ago along with the drier.

From memory parts were around £150 and that was trade,just paid for the fitting and re-gas afterwards

A/C will have to be relegated to the foot of the " jobs to be done" list then 

The windows & sunroof open fine           More important items first  I think

Good luck with it Al..will be nice when all done..bought mine last June and spent next 6-7 months doing jobs as and when I had time.

Managed to accumulate parts cheap,mostly genuine , as I went along so wasnt too huge a cost when all things considered and I know it is done properly and great learning curve.

Still few things to sort and get working but nearly done.
