All the water in there will cool me down lol.

If any of the air con pipework was disturbed, you will need a vacuum check and if that's OK, a refill of air con refridgerant including lube. If the system has been empty for a while, it may also need other bits!

No, it worked fine when I got the car a few weeks ago, only started this after the other work. Will a vacuum check show if the condenser is okay, or if the vacuum is okay and refridgerant, then get the condensor checked?

This is the crucial piece of evidence Dawn. You need to talk to the garage to find out if they discharged the air con when they removed the radiator. There is no point speculating about anything else until you have done that.

Apologies everyone...

Just spoken to Kayleigh, and they did indeed have to discharge the system for the work, and they don't do the regassing there, so problem kind of solved! Phew! Just need to have a look next week when I'm off for a local place.

Thank you!

Do a search on groupon for air conditioning in your,e area just found a better deal for air con regas locally to me cheaper than ATS.

Found one for £23 plus I get discount fir new member. Before I book, do you know if I need to print anything? Silly printer broke now lol!

If it is through groupon there is an app you use on a smart phone which will show the voucher details so on but i am sure that ATS stipulated you had to print out the voucher,it should say in the advert.
good luck.
