No aircon - but full of gas and no fault codes

Has anyone got any ideas?
The aircon isn't cooling at all.
It was regassed a year ago and was working fine last summer.
It's still full of gas and there are no fault codes - it's been serviced today and I got them to check.

cheers

Probably got the iffy valve issue on the ac compressor like most of the later cars.

Take it you leave it on all year round to stop the rubber seals drying out etc?

Beat me to it

This thread has the details https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic43778...+con+valve

Compressor has to come out, so while it’s out, it’s easier to replace the whole unit.

Yes, leave it on all the time.
I feared it might be the dodgy valve after reading the other threads. Strange it hasn't thrown any codes.
Will see whether the garage can check low and high side pressure tomorrow.
