For what it's worth I don't endorse this test because it forces the compressor to run when there may be little or no refrigerant gas in the system, and since the lubricating oil is circulated with the gas this poses a risk of damaging the compressor.
Simon I personally value Jules giving his input into any problem as he is a hands on worker who knows the cars and works on air con systems and i would be more than happy to use his method and have done many times, there is nothing to lose as at the moment it not working Dave |

The original problem was a leaking seal. I was fortunate to receive a 37% off special offer from AutoDoc at just the right time and managed to buy an OEM compressor plus condenser and seals for about £350 then had it all fitted by a trusted local garage with leak sniffer tool etc.

Exactly where our latest 75 leaks from - and the suspiciously new condenser speaks a thousand words (as they say). Really must get around to sorting that...!

The reply I gave to Suzublu (which you've quoted) was for his petrol engined car but you have a diesel which is different. Quote:
