Aircon red light

[Notebook]

Hi

I have an air on problem. 

It works fine when it is quite warm, but if it’s a really hot day, it runs fine for a few minutes and then the air conditioning light flashes on and off and the air goes warm...

the compressor clutch disengages  anyone know where I could get it fixed (Newport near Cardiff) or gap settings so local garage could take a look  

now has completely stopped and just blinks  

gas ok

 

Any help appreciated

Could just be the clutch on the compressor, ok when first turned on then once warm stops, they will tell you new compressor required but you can remove the clutch off the end and replace the shim washer which is normally the problem. An old experienced air con guy done this for me a few years back , a few posts on here somewhere with a diagram .
