Just to conclude this thread.
All's is working as expected now.
Here is the unexpected bit...
The AC has been ****ting me for quite a while now. It hasnt been cold like it should be.
It has had a new condensor, receiver/drier, compressor and even the engine fan. That only left the thermostatic expansion valve and the evaporator as the only parts left to replace.
After the water pump and thermostat was replaced, the AC is now chilly again! Very happy with this bonus! I'm surprised at how much the engine radiator and cooling messed up the AC system, even when driving. The pump must have been rough for quite a while now.
