So, what's the deal then Pete? Fully charged system but the clutch does not engage?

That’s what was happening but with all that green muck and oil around the shaft when I removed the clutch I think marks right there must be a seal leaking and the compressor is 22 years old so off with the old and on with a new one not straight away through I’ve got a couple of trips away and a garden show to attend so will sort when back doing my wheels at the moment

It's a v8, right? My compressor was also leaking from the same seal, but worse than yours - even then the ac went a year between recharges...but i eventually replaced the compressor to have a permanent fix. If you put a 9v battery across the clutch you can see if the clutch engages (and air con goes cold)...if that works then you can work your way through the wiring to understand why the 12v signal is not getting to the clutch.
