Ok thank you for the advice. Think I will take if in to my local dealers next week and get them to do a diagnostic.

My ED35 air con has started to play up, not blowing cold. Dealer did a quick temp check the other day & on it's lowest setting was showing 24.5 & still getting warmer. Car is still under warranty so is booked in for more work.
ED35. Standard factory condition.

Cheers - so I should see the number change between switching the AC on and off?

Well, have had the diagnostic done and it looks like I need a new compressor. Can anyone recommend a supplier? Don't really want to go to the stealers! Also does anyone know what the part number would be?

I'd be interested to know this too. Is there a different code if it's the pressure switch as opposed to the compressor itself?

Does anyone know the latest revision part no. for the pressure switch?

In the end I ended up having to fit a new compressor. Bought it from Advanced Radiators. Very good service it cost me around £200 shipped and my local garage charged me a couple of hours labour to fit it. I now have nice cool air again!☺
