I've looked through the threads to see if anyone has had a similar problem to what I have, but couldn't come up with anything (or didn't look hard enough...)
Anyways this is the situation:
the whole HVAC system of the car seems to be ok (ie air flow, temp control and all the other buttons are working fine), however, whatever setting i put the a/c on, either hot or cold it blows out the same air, same temp... BUT with the a/c off I do get radiant heat coming from the vents which eventually warms up the car and by that time I've arrived at my destination. At one stage I was hearing a 'water leaking' sound coming from behind/below the glove compartment area (evaporator??), but I don't hear that anymore.
If anyone knows a similar thread or has experienced this situation and can provide some advice it would be much appreciated.

From my limited knowledge Hakan I think you might either need to re-gas the air con system or it might be your compressor that needs replacing. Same thing happened to me just after I got my UZZ31, I re-gassed it, still couldn't get hot or cold air, so then I replaced the compressor and it's been great since (about 3 years now). I'm sure someone else will either back me up or provide a better explanation, but if it is your compressor, make sure you get a 2nd hand one as new OEM ones are ridiculously expensive. Mine was $50 off ebay and still going strong!
