AC still not working after compressor and fan

Hi guys,
AC recently stopped working. Auto electrician it 12v to compressor and it wouldn’t kick in so replaced with a second hand one. Garage tested AC and said you have a second fault, the front fan isn’t coming on. I replaced that with a second hand one and it wouldn’t come on, garage said fault coming up as AC fan so I bought a new one and fitted it just now. AC fan spins but keeps stopping, I have no AC! What next?

If your compressor died and the compressor was your only replacement then I'd bet you slugged the condenser with oil and that started the whole train of AC not working. (Don't ask how I know....)

Garage is now saying lines looked to be blocked and so they’re replacing the AC Expansion valve?

Condenser (almost certain) as that's what happened to me. But I guess that could cause the valve to commit suicide..?
