Hi, can anyone help. I've had my Mondeo since Dec 2011.The air-conditioning was re-gassed a few months later, as not working well. Kwik-Fit did this job. But within a year (Aug 2013) I had them re-do it, as aircon was only working intermittently. No leaks were found. Within 4 months it had stopped working completely. Still no obvious leaks. Car cannot now be re-gassed. They say it's probably the compressor. Normal cost of this is around £450, plus labour - I cannot afford this.The cruise control also stopped working around Dec 2013.

New comprssors can be purchased for around £120 from many suppliers. Are these ones worth considering, or do you have to go for a Ford one at great cost? Is it worth booking car into a Ford main dealer or auto-electrician, to check whether there is an electrical fault stopping the compressor working, before I replace it? I have read on TalkFord that something called Fuse F82 controls both aircon and cruise control. Cruise Control I am less worried about, but want aircon fixed as it's now the Summertime and it's hot! Cannot afford £500 plus bill. Can anyone ogffer advice please?
