I think that if there is no gas in the system then the compressor will not work.

Maybe try having it regassed and see what happens?  :y

Before you try regassing, I'd advise you to check the a/c fuses and relay as well.

Also check the 'secondary thermo switch' contector is securely fitted, it provides a 'earth return' for the aircon compressor.
It is located n/s of the rad, screwed into the plastic side pod, it's the lower of the two 'thermo switch's'.
If all ok go for a re-gas.

One fuse box is located under your steering wheel in the cabin and the other one is located in the bonnet next to the battery.  :y

I wouldn't bother Nick, the system has a very small leak. I had the system tested last year, it held pressure so I had it refilled but it leaked slowly over 2 to three months :(
