i know its recommended to run your air con on a regular basis, this stops the rubber seals from drying out and cracking, apparently the aircon fluid contains a lubricant which keeps the rubber happy, i run mine at least monthly for a journey into work (19 miles)

I normally do, but dont think the previous keeper cared that much. Contacted Kwik-fit who regassed it in May having bought it in March, but they stated , only large leaks will be picked up not small ones.

The advice I had from my dealership was to run more frequently than once a week.
