Rich,
I’m based in Leyland and have used this guy before and know of others that have used him and he is excellent
www.chillout-airconditioning.co.uk
He’s a one man band and can be really busy (expect with a “heatwave” he will be busy) but all he does is vehicle air con. Does cars and a lot on heavy plant machines too. Very approachable and not too far away from you, might be worth giving him a call. First thing he said when I first visited him was “compressors in them are rock solid, do you have the rear air con too - always an issue on those vehicles” (I’m not posh enough to have rear air con!)
Had him regas mine as I’d had it done a couple of times by (won’t name the company) and it lasted about 3 weeks and then was shit again. He looked at it on a Saturday for me (I just turned up unannounced), Emptied the system, vacuum tested, immediately spotted a busted seal, replaced (£20 on top of the rehashing) and it was good for 2 years.

As Karl says, press and hold 2 buttons at exactly the same time with engine running.
A/C button and fresh air intake button, if there is a code it will show on the small led screen that shows modes.
My 2006 didnt show a code, even though freshly regassed, but there is another check on a 3 pin connector under the bonnet that by carefully touching 2 pins with a wire/fly lead, that you can see/hear if the mag clutch is engaging on the compressor when switched on.
I person under bonnet with connector apart and lead touched to pins, to see/hear, and another inside to push the switch on cue - all with engine running and be careful of fan blades of course.
Thanks to Karl for finding that info for me, although in my case the clutch engaged momentarily then dropped out - electrical sensor.
Does the green light in the a/c switch flash when you switch on ?
It's a bas***d job to get at/change the compressor which I shied away from, my local garage owner, who I know very well said 4 hours.

I don't have a screen to display codes on. The controls are like this.
The AC light is continuous when it's switched on.

That explains it then Rich, wrong series.
Strange that the light stays on, even though not working, maybe just how the 90 works ?
Just out of interest, have you tried pressing the auto button, and with the engine stopped, are you able to turn the mag clutch on front of compressor freely by hand ?

Thought I'd post an update on this. I managed to source a new compressor, and after a couple of visits to Chill Out to fit it and cap the rear pipework off (it was leaking badly) I have air con.
I'd very much recommend him for air con, excellent service, not expensive, nice chap.
