Addressing you, as my response was directly under yours post I assumed that I didn't need to quote.

Into the ether never to be seen again.

I was always a CO2 man, until I tried one of the newer electric models. I bought a 2nd hand one of of fleabay, had it regassed, just for good measure, and I am very pleased with it. Freezed a 2 inch main yesterday with it, no problems.

If you can afford it then agree with plumb, this is a great bit of time saving kit. Look at it as a long term investment.

Sorry Howsie I did not mean my post as a insult, it's just local vernacular.

No idea either, haven't had to yet and they are about six years old.

Thanks for that Dickie. I don't want to quash anyone's sense of humour..... Well, there are a couple......

It's just that the printed word can be read entirely differently to how it's meant. I'd suggest using the emoticons in future with comments that could be read either way.

Couldn't find one of these in the list

Knowing the Fridge gas that's used will help a lot when getting a leccy machine topped up. Some Fridgies will do a full evacuation & vacume test for leaks before they add new Gas. I've been trying for ages to do my F Gas & never had the time, but one day I'll do it. I've been fann.ing around with heatpumps for years, so have a little knowledge of refrigeration.
