Some places advertise they wont charge unless they make your system x degrees colder so if there is nothing wrong it wont cost.

What were the symptoms of the dodgy trinary switch? Did the blower work only intermittently? Because mine works continually after the initial delay. I prefer to investigate other options before checking/refilling the refrigerant, because that'll probably be £100
I live in Norway you see...

I suspect your lowest speed isn't working, try taking manual control of the fan speed and see if the lowest speeds are pushing any air through.

The blower goes to full when I press demist, yes. And all the lower speeds are working too. As far as I can tell, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the a/c once it activates, it's just that it takes a while before it does.
