James,
almost certainly the fault with your air con is "lack of gas", try and find
a local garage that re-gasses air con. I have a very good man near me, he
does lots of classics, Aston Martins etc. The actual gas cost HIM is about
£30 a shot, expect to pay about £50-£75.

Paul Feagan amazed me when we were touring around N.I , when he said he air
con was not working, it was HOT.
My son Robert, flatly refused to drive "Deloris" to Eurofest until I had the
air con fixed! ( Simon Feagan is obviously a lot less spoiled than my
Robert).
Both it and Dusty's are working fine now. If there is a lack of gas, the
compressor senses this and will not kick in.

As a word of warning, if you have your air con on and your car "boils", due
to faulty fans / otter switch etc., then the air con will "dump" all the gas
and you will have to get it re-charged again. Keep an eye on your temp.
gauge, if it gets hot, investigate and switch off the air con.

I will try and let you know of events in the "deep south".

Best regards
