I have a noise when the air con is switched on, its almost like a low metal
screech noise, the noise is constant even if the fan is put on high.  Car
regularly serviced 10,000miles ago at 108000.
What can go wrong in the A/C

Possbily the compressor bearing?

Have someone look at it. If the bearing seizes or the pulley falls off, you
will loose power steering and alternator, which might not be the best thing
to happen depending on where you are.

All sorts of things can go wrong in the A/C, where is the noise coming
from? Under the hood or inside the passenger compartment?
