That's great. Thanks very much.:D

I have 2006 Defender 90 TD5. The previous owner replaced the centre silencer with a straight through pipe. This makes the vehicle too noisy for me and I would like to re-instate the centre silencer. My problem is that I'm not entirely sure that I have a standard exhaust. It would be really...

I can try those suggestions, thanks. I'm guessing this needs to be done without jacking the car.

No ARB fitted.

We were driving our 90 TD5 along a section of the M25 in the nearside lane amongst very slow moving traffic (30mph ish). The section we were on looked to be constructed of roughly 4m x 4m concrete slabs and the surface was in very poor general condition. As we passed over the joins between each...

That's interesting, I just ran the engine with the vehicle stationary and I gave it about 5 minutes before I concluded there was no cold air. I'm also guessing that if the pressure switch proves to be faulty, the system will have to be depressurised to change it.

You make it sound very simple Neil. :) As I mentioned in my original post, there is no power getting to the clutch. If I feed power to it directly, it sounds like its engaging but there's no cold air. Out of interest, it it possible to check the refrigerant level visually?

Thanks a lot, I will check it out when I get home. If it all looks OK I think I'll take lightning's advice and drop it into a specialist next week.

That sounds simple enough to check. Excuse my ignorance but where is this located?

No, the switch lights up and the fan runs but there is no power at the compressor clutch. If i feed in power manually, direct from the battery, the clutch engages but there's no cold air. I swapped the relays around last night but to no avail, it seems they are all working.

When I took it in for charging they didn't actually do anything. They told me it was fully charged.

I found this on another forum and found it helpful so I thought I'd re-post here. I'll further investigate the problem later with the aid of the diagram.

The factory fitted air con on my 2007 Defender 90 TDCi has not worked since I bought it last year. I had the system recharged but that didn't fix the problem and I basically forgot about it until I became motivated by the recent warm spell of weather. I undertook some basic diagnostics at the...

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'm probably looking at £50 max for the bulkhead repair panels so hardly worth shopping around. When can you come and fit them?? :D

Ha, ha. That would be a great plan if I had more time. I already get a bit of grief for spending too much time tinkering with the car!
