Another thing I noticed is that when the A/C button is pressed on, there is a noisy whirring sound from behind the centre vents / climate control unit that wasn't there before...
Not using it for a few years is one way to dry out all the seals and potentially fuck up the A/C system.

How loud is the whirring sound? I noticed just before mine stopped working (a couple of weeks after a re-gas) when it was getting low on gas it started to make slight noises. The first noise I noticed was the common noise (whining) that changes with the engine revs around 1800rpm then a few days later it sounded like the blower motor or something had become kind of a bit noisier (this was just before it stopped working/cooling and ran out of gas).

All Noises are gone on mine after the system was fixed and re-charged last year.
