So not too bad, your prices are ... Norwegian prices unfortunately.
Yep Apparently there's a ~70 € fee per kg of gas.

I don't know, what is the test?

Put it off too long and it won't work at all and repair is even dearer.
Mine's always in use, never off. Any drawbacks to that?

Don't think so as have no two 75 without AC and fans work as they should.
From what I can tell my radiator fan is working properly.

The external ambient temp reading should be displayed on the dash.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind External reading is fairly accurate, at least.
