I think that's along the lines of my earlier post above. I was advised several years ago that it's false economy to only use the aircon occasionally and mine is on all year round, as you suggest. I've known neighbours, who have only rarely used their system, have to get seals replaced and the system re-pressurised. Haven't tried the Halfords products, because I've left the servicing to the dealer, especially with my cars generally going at the end of the 3 year UK warranty period.
