First stop might be Kwikfit, where they reckon to check/refill your aircon but not charge you if the machine finds the aircon system has a leak. See what happens when you do that then we can talk about what to do next (there has been another aircon thread like this very recently so have a search of that also). Good luck

PS - You could try asking Kwikfit where they think the leak is (if they say it has one) and/or how best to determine the location and fix it.

to check if the compressor is okay..... unclip the brown connector on top of the drier bottle (just behind the radiator grill by the front radiator - its about the size/shape as a can of Red Bull) short it cross inside the connector with some wire.....fire up the Aircon and the fans should engage..... if that is the case...... you need a regas...

Just picked my Bongo up after a four day drydocking to get the air con fixed after it broke last August - replaced the compressor (Grateful Thanks to You've Been Bongo'd).

Mine announced it's demise under a huge cloud of fumes after a not particularly loud bang which also incuded a melted and broken fan belt.

Lessson learnt - keep it regularly used and I'll include a check as part of the main service. The guys that repaired it commented on the size of the system (I think they had a surprise at finding a "double" system) and the quantity of gas it needed (which cost £110 +£10 for oil) - now to keep my fingers crossed that it holds the gas.............................

Good luck Cliff - not sure I can add to the advice already passed on.

If thats the case, avoid Kwik Fit in Batley.

Absolutely clueless.

You'll be amazed what they don't know.

Still no progress.

Do you mean just the ac has stopped or the fan? - this FAQ may help - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 43&t=28727
