2018 Land Rover Discovery AC not blowing cold at idle – works fine when driving

I've got a 2018 Discovery and the AC has been acting up. When I'm driving at highway speeds, it blows ice cold. But when I'm stuck in traffic or at a stop light, the air gets noticeably warmer, almost like outside temperature. As soon as I start moving again, it gets cold. I checked the radiator fans and they seem to be spinning, but I'm not sure if they're spinning fast enough. I took it to a shop in Dubai and they said it might be low on refrigerant or a failing condenser fan, but they weren't confident. I'm looking for a land rover ac workshop sharjah that has experience with these Discovery AC systems. Has anyone here had this issue where the AC only works when the car is moving? What ended up being the problem? I'm worried it could be a faulty cooling fan module or a partially clogged condenser. The car has 70k kilometers on it and is otherwise fine. I'd rather not take it to the dealer because I know they'll charge a fortune. If you know a good AC specialist in Sharjah for Land Rovers, please share. Thanks for any help.
