Mine had a very small leak in the condenser - which is where most systems fail. It was pressure tested and was fine. It was only when the system was re-charged and started to get hot that the leak showed up.

Needs the pressures checking to see if it’s lost the gas.

Thank you all for the sage advice. I have read that the newer refrigerant is exceptionally leaky and suspect it’s that. It is the sort of thing, though, that when it is fixed, you are always waiting/ worrying that it will fail again! Bring back full fat gas, I say. |

Mine went wrong last year which showed a leak in the condenser so I replaced that! Then it leaked out again and it was traced to an aluminium pipe for the rear AC! Had corroded where a steel clip fixed it in place!!! Good old JLR!!! |

They don't seem to learn. A steel clip for an aluminium air con pipe was a common fault with the D2. ![]() 2008 Stornoway Grey 3.6 Tdv8 Vogue 2005 TD6 Java Black Vogue - Written off!!

Hopefully as I have the full Approved (rather than extended) warranty, it will be covered. Gas on its own, is not, but it may well have leaked away from some covered component! |

As there is no sign of garages opening anytime soon, I called in wechillanycar.com.
