Ok went to Halfords to day as they check the ac refrigerant level for free. It had plenty of juice in the system. Therefore i am going to change the AC compressor. (as it don’t work/ac clutch does not engage/turn) Does anyone know if you can buy the clutch separately?(maybe its just the clutch gone)
WRONG!!!!!

You are headed down the wrong path, STOP!

Did they determine if the clutch was electrified?

IF not your fix could be less than $100

If one of your sensors are bad the A/C clutch will not engage.

Did you read the A/C stickies?

also some1 said in this forum when he was trying to fix his aux fans he said make sure the ac compressor clutch works. When i turn on my AC the aux fans should turn on right? but they don't. More evidence that the sensor or new air compressor may be needed.
The A/C has fail safes to protect the compressor. It is not the other way around, the compressor only works if all the parameters (sensors, relays) allow the compressor to run. Now the fact that you still have a charge in the system to me rules out any problem with your compressor. I believe your problem is electrical and this must be fixed before you can even test the compressor. Now the fans are controlled by pressure / temperature and do not necessarily come on when the A/C is switched on but do come on when the Temp/pressure requires them to.

The first thing you need to do is find out why your compressor clutch is not getting electricity check wires, fuses, relays, sensors. I have a link that would help you but it is on my other computer I'll send you the link tonight.
