its nearly plus 40 ive took my typhoon to the shops to get some beer and soon as ive moved i knew thats something wrong

Fan failure or a leak.

that was my first thought but fan kiks in at 100°
and even with dead fan ac should work at speed
system was tested and re gased 2 weeks ago

Guess you have a slow leak then, was it pressure tested or vacuum tested?

Mine did the same after 2 weeks. Must be a leak. I am currently looking for a local AC specialist too.

You're right Mike. Presumeably you've pressed the windscreen demist button (with engine cold, but running) and got no fan and no compressor click?

By whom? It sounds highly likely that something's not been done correctly.
