hi there

are the 2 engine fans still coming on in slow mode?

if not, then i'd say you've lost some/most of the gas. did you tie it up when you moved it?

if yes, check to see if the multi plug has fell off. it's underneath on the 2.3 pump anyway.

hth

btw, stop shouting! (cap lock) ;) :)

hi there

when you have the a/c on the fans run in slow mode and cycle on and off with the a/c clutch. this is to draw air through the condensor radiator (the radiator you see at the front of the car). they should start up about 10 secs after starting the engine.

if they don't come on, then normally it's a low pressure issue.

if they come on in high speed mode, then it usually a high pressure (blockage) issue.

to give you an idea, if the engine is really hot (summer), the fans come on in high speed mode. this will drag your car along the street by it's self!! ;)

another thing to remember that the a/c doesn't work under 4 or below oC. it's a bit tricky testing it at these temps.

hi there

i'd take to kwik fit. they're doing a regas for £25 with a cooler by 10% or don't pay guarantee.

so if it's not fixed by a regas, you don't pay.
