My system has worked perfectly for the last 7 years without a service, so not sure where my 10% a year has gone.

According to the service history, TBE hasn't been done since it left the factory, and its still chilly. The Silver Bullet needed doing after about 11yrs after the compressor leaked and needed replacing.

Sage words indeed TB, holibobs must be working

All aircon systems in cars leak through natural leakage. The rubber hoses and seals are porous and will let out a small amount of gas all the time. Google aircon natural leakage.
When I have used Ez chill to top up my cars I tend to use 1/3 can every time. The cans cost £25 as there is a £10 return surchage. So for me it has cost £8 every two years.
And to answer one of the previous posters, I'm not stupid or lazy. I just understand aircon systems.
No doubt this will get some peoples blood boiling - but I am not saying they are wrong. If you want to vacuum and weigh every time with your car, great. But, sorry to disappoint people, I have been looking after my 3 cars aircon for 5 years now and they all still work fine

And I have been known to use washing up liquid to clean my cars... I wouldn't dream of suggesting others followed my lead

But as TB said, repeated for clarity...

... and believe it would be poor, possibly irresponsible advice for me to recommend it to others, esp when its usually easy enough to fine a specialist who can do it properly for around the price of a can and a half of refill kit.

Thank you and goodnight

If you read my posts I have never suggested that people use EzChill. I am just giving them information. I don't see information as being dangerous. Knowledge is power, as they say.
