I had mine regassed from a mate for £20 but normal cost con be anthig from £75 to £100 and still the drone when it kicks in

I took my wife's car to the local Mazda dealer in Bristol and was surprised to see that they did an aircon service and topup for £35+VAT. Her's did not need doing and my Lexus was at Lexus Bristol having the aircon pressure switch replaced which meant a regas was done under warranty. Had them scratching their heads for a while too. Apparently, my car is fitted with a variable displacement compressor which unlike other compressors is supposed to run all the time. Don't notice any noise from it though.
