Just FYI start giving it a 5min run each day ready for the summer as I used mine for the first time in a few weeks and it 'clunked on'
Seals need to be lubricated people so run your air con often!

I had it regassed 2 times over the last years, and it still doesn't work properly, so i'm probably just gonna take it off to save weight

It says in the manual to run it for at least 30 minutes per month. I've stuck to doing this every winter and never had any problems when summer comes around.

Aircon should be used for 20 minutes for every 500 miles......the seals can go if not, and the worst that can happen is the pump and aircon rad will blow up.
