Aircon blues

I hope that one of you guys can give me a bit of advice So I don't start replacing parts willy nilly. A couple of years ago my the aircon in my 56 plate Freelander stopped working (suddenly). With lock down last year and, not going on holiday, I didn't bother to get it fixed (I assumed it needed a re-gas). I have just had the car re-gassed and guess what? No aircon. When I took it for a re-gas, the aircon guy told me it was holding pressure. So no leaking refrigerant. I have looked over the system and noticed two faults. When I turn the aircon on the switch illuminates and then two thing that I think should happen don't. First I would expect one of the radiator fans should start spinning, neither move. Second the clutch on the compressor does not engage. Is it possible that there is a control module that may be broken that will effect both fan and compressor. Or am I grasping at straws and the compressor needs changing.

Hello and welcome.
You need to post in the Freelander sub forum, this is the introduction forum where(generally) peeps ignore questions.

Thanks for the response, checked all the fuse under the hood and found no fault

Welcome to the forum

The clutch will engage and the fans start spinning when the air con is turned on. If not then it could be a sensor thinking/knowing something it wrong. Check the electrical connection to the compressor. Freelander section link below for tech advice.
