Hi - I have a MGZT-T 2005 - with I think a seized aircon compressor.
It makes a growling noise when switched on, and goes off completely when deactivated.
I noticed clear, clean oil coming from under where the compressor is located for some time a year or so ago and I'm assuming that all the oil has drained out of the compressor causing the seizure/growling noise.
It happened some time after I had had the system regassed so maybe there was a leak that has forced the oil out, and possibly the gas, I'm not sure.
I live in Bedfordshire and used to get help from Phil in Olney who was great, but he decided to go to work full time and isn't taking on private work anymore.

If anyone is interested in this and can recommend a replacement please get in touch with a contact that I can reach you on.
