not uncommon air con systems basically leak from new , normally very slowly but they will all needed topping up before to long. If it leaks quickly again it will need testing.

As mentioned on here leave air con on all the time and make sure it fires up occasionally in winter to keep the seals from drying out. At work

I presume you have had issue with your dealer, maybe a mention in the dealer feedback section with an explanation instead of a quote in a post.

Fact based feedback helps ithers Smile

Just in case not many people know this i thought i would share something about aircon systems. If your aircon is running make sure you have at least one vent open and the blower running at least on the lowest speed, if not your system will ice up and stop working and could cost you £££s to repair Thumbs Up

If you manually turn the blower speed to 0, then the AC will stop functioning and the compressor will disengage.
So you can't have the AC system working without the blower running. Try it and you'll see.

Having had it regased the whole system has now started making very loud noises that change tone when accelerating or decellerating this they told us was the compressor and would need to be replaced which they say they did but low and behold two weeks later the same problem has reappered, its now going back in for another session with the monkeys and fingers crossed they will sort it this time.

When the compressor is changed, the system must be cleaned and most important filled with the proper quantity of compressor (A/C type) oil. If they miss it, then the compressor will soon be a goner.
Insist over this aspect.

I have had a similar problem with my aircon, when accelerating or decelerating I can hear a slight metallic noise coming from the fans this noise has got worse over the last few months, it stops when I turn the aircon off and just have the normal heating on
The mechanic couldn’t hear it at first but after 5 minutes said it was the compressor as soon as heard it. I have been waiting a month now for a new as their on back order and word from the garage is that Land Rover are looking for a new supplier.
