Any advice on what this could be?

Hi Mike
It is possible that the HP side is restricted or blocked, this was offered to me as a possibility by a Rover A/C tech.
On my car the problem was a lack of finning on the A/C condenser (the first bit you see behind the fan), so have a GOOD look at yours before spending money.
If it is restriction in the HP side, the same tech (who is very good) told me the normal cure is to do a very long evacuation (1/2 hour) before a recharge.
