Thanks for the reply Simon, i try to be as hands on as possible so i've been reading the forums and learning about the air con so i can avoid having the Rover looked at by someone not up to the job (lots of people on here seem to have had problems with garages giving wrong diagnoses..). The condenser looks a little worse for wear, but not as bad as some of the pictures on this site - wouldn't an ageing condenser just give poor cooling and consequently reduced cold air output, as opposed to the zero cooling that i currently get? I imagine the condenser is just like the cooling system radiator, or is that a bit simplistic?
I'm hoping to get someone to come out and regas it, or alternatively i will happily take it to a specialist, but finding someone up here in the north west is proving very challenging!
