Dear All,
Just used the AC for the first time this year and it's not working.
The green light is showing on the button and that's it.
There is no click from under the engine and the revs do not drop off
slightly as before.

Does anyone have any ideas please.

Regards
Paul

Probably due a regas. You may have a leak, or just natural loss over
6 years. I suggest doing a regas every 2 or 3 years. And use the AC
during winter if only for 10 minutes a week. Keeps the seals
lubricated and minimises leaks.

Check the pipes to the condenser just behind the bottom of the radiator. A
bad design leads to fatigue cracking of the pipe leading to the n/s end of
the condenser.
