During the week I had the air con recharged for Mrs C at Kwik Fit Northallerton. The print out reported taking 150g refrigerant out and putting 600g back in with no leaks detected. The manager said that the temperature drop on testing was satisfactory. The air seemed cold on the way back home.

At the weekend Mrs C reported that she couldn't tell that it was getting cold. On checking I found that the radiator cooling fan wasn't spinning, which it should when the air con is switched on. During my checking of fuses and looking for corroded contacts, the fan started up but spun very slowly and then stopped. I found that the nearby relay was energised and 12v seemed to be on its way to the fat fan wires.

Anyone care to speculate if I am just looking at a knackered fan motor or should I be looking somewhere else as well. The manual doesn't mention a fuse for the cooling fan; is one hidden away somewhere?

TIA
