My aircon is "Warm"

Whilst at the Weston meet, I got the aircon guy to check my system over. He proceeded to tell me how he had just managed to get an R reg estates vent temps to -5degrees so I thought I was on to a winner; what with having the aircon mod fitted and all. Anyway, when he had finished the best we could get was +3 degrees and that was with the mod fitted!!
Anyone care to offer some advice as to how I could get the temps down a little?
Thanks Baz

baz...
should be getting a lot lower than that with the booster and all....
take it you have tried a reset,are you sure you got a good connection at the point where you connect the boosters wires ?....

Craig,
I actually soldered my wires on so the connection is very good. I haven't done a reset yet, I may try that tomorrow

hi barry
both those figures are wrong. -5oC is way too low. the system should cycle at +3 or +4oC.
with the mod on full, i got -2oC VERY quickly. maybe too quickly.  everyone needs to watch they don't freeze the system by running it for too long on full boost. 
anyway, your problem.
i'd look at the thermistor. can you get another one to try? maybe the probe is too close to the evap? not sure.
does it cycle a lot? on off. on off. what sort of time scale?
