Should air conditioning be used all the time?

Should the air con be used 24/7 or only when required to cool the car?

Only when you are actually in the car. It's a good idea to occasionally run hot air through the ventilation trunking for a couple of minutes before you park the car in order to dry out any condensation moisture in the trunking.

I had followed your advice to always keep the air con switched on, and to good effect in that with my vehicle owned from new for 20 years it has always worked fine without ever even needing re-gassing....
