Just wondering how others with similar cars find their AC performance? Mines working, but not super cold (some cars I’ve driven it can get too cold).
I find it can take a while to cool the car down and take the edge off, and never really gets to that ice cold air coming out of the vent point.
I gave the condenser a good clean but that didn’t help much, and there are no signs of any leaks, but wondering if it could benefit from being re-gassed given its 14 years old?
Are there any known issues with the AC system in the GD's?

Firty's aircon has been going strong since new without leaks or need of regassing, ice cold when needed but with the full SLX-level of climate control, it's just a matter of dialling your temperature and switching to auto. I haven't seen much reporting of aircon problems on the GD.

Its cold, just not ice cold like some vehicles ive owned.
Having no rear vents and being the tourer with a larger cabin, it takes a bit more to cool down and ensure the kids arent cooking in the back!
