Ok, so I have 3 cars and a van, all with AC, as well as AC in the shop, along with 6 fridges and a slush machine...
Now I always have the AC on in my vehicles, and the shop, as don't do "hot" and I regularly get the vehicles regassed, for around £40 which is fairly cheap.
Anyhow, one of the shop fridges stopped cooling last week, and another isn't as cold as it was. Cleaned the condensers and checked the fans etc, all ok so looks like low refrigerant.
Phones around, and people wanted £50-£70 callout, plus £50 min per fridge... Sod that I thought, and jumped on Ebay..
Won and picked this up yesterday
£190
Came from a bodyshop who have upgraded to a dual gas machine, but suits me as all mine are R134a. Full service log, new filter and drier last month, AND a new, full tank of R134a.. I also have a customer who works at a gases supplier, and can get me R134a for £3 odd a KG
Have used one before, so just ordered the 1/4" adaptors to allow me to work on the fridges in the shop..
I can now also offer evac & recharge for people, for say £30 if anyone local is interested?
