Just looking for a bit of advice. My AC is not working. I have rear AC and I’m sure it’s related and have booked it in for diagnostics. The pipes are all in good condition from what I have inspected. Maybe a seal.
Anyway, I have plugged the car in and read all codes. I have none. Reading this forum I have seen that low pressure will trigger. But this isn’t the case. I have read the live data and my AC gallery pressure is 12.5kpa and this is very low compared to pressures I’ve seen on here. But no fault. In addition, my compressor current is on 0A. And will not change when I engage or disengage the AC. I believe the newer compressors on the D4 have clutches. But would expect a fault to disengage the clutch etc.
Hopefully this makes sense. Like I said, it’s booked in for May. But I’m just curious.
Hi all. The D4 has been in the garage for 2 day for Ac diagnosis. They have pressure tested and UV tested the AC. Alll passed. Compressor working and all main components etc. No leaks from pipes that he can see. But the pressure hasn’t altered. He says it’s good but would like too keep an eye till tomorrow.
The reason I’m writing this, is as much as I’m happy. The guy I brought the car off had the AC topped up a month before I picked it up this time last year. But when the AC guy pulled the old gas from my system yesterday, there was nothing… but he can find no leaks. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Like I said, the guy will keep it and re examine the system tomorrow.Craig.

Compressor gas level needs checking but you’d be surprised I’ve heard filters getting clogged or stuck in a position where it blocks airflow, have that checked out also!Discovery 4

So after all that, I was surprised that the rear pipes were leaking. Two O rings. But a big leak above the sway bar.
I have ordered the two rear sections LR013855 and LR013854. I will have the AC specialist to empty the system and recharge after I have fitted the new pipes. I couldn’t find a suitable aftermarket plastic replacement. But I will try and think of treating the pipes before fitting.
Here are the pictures of the leaks.
I will upload my progress over the weekend. With me luck!!!
