Thanks guys,

This is all excellent information, and will get me to the root of my problem.

As it was working faultlessly last year, and the diagnostic ran its routines without an electrical error showing, I do suspect low refrigerant first and foremost. This will be compounded by the fact that the condenser out front will not pass air as easily with the extra [probably hot!] tranny cooler behind it.

Armed with the above information, I will go to a guy in North Dublin who does aircon. If he can refill R12, I will get him to do so and check for loose joints as suggested. If it has to be R134, I will get him to do a purge and refill with the new kit.

Thanks a million
