Got in the D3 tonight and switched the air con on as it’s a balmy 24 degrees in Leicester currently and it’s not blowing cool air. In fact it’s blowing slightly warm air. Was up until this afternoon a very efficient unit churning out ice cold air happily. Nothing has seemingly changed and no work has been done to the car recently.
I’m at work tonight but finished for a few days tomorrow. Any suggestions as to where I should start my search for the cool air again please? Discovery 3 tdv6 HSE 2007

Yup as above... If low, possible rear lines (if you have rear aircon) or like me last month condenser had given up.

It's probably not the same issue you have, but a few weeks ago I was in the last 40 miles of a 400 mile trip in 100% humidity and about 30C outside when my AC also stopped working. Oddly, the fan ceased to blow air (just a breath of air, although I could hear the damn thing whirring away). No matter which outlet I selected (screen, straight out or feet) the story was the same.
I got home and cleared the faults with the IID tool and it now works again.
May be worth looking at the faults to see if anything shows up. PAGODA

I had similar in Skoda about 4 weeks ago when temps were 30 degrees. Fine for 250 miles then gradually realised it was getting warmer in the car with little airflow even at maximum.
Assumed there was a problem so switchef fan off and opened windows. Parked up for hour , came back for return journey, thought I would try the AC and everything was fine and has been to this day.
I'm assuming maybe blocked drain or just ice build somewhere on the system.
