Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Always better to err on the side of caution Lizzie,you know always take precautions to prevent any unwanted "events"
I attended the attempt to break the current world record for the greatest number of parading Volvos back at the end of March.Unfortunately the word has come through that Guinness World Records have denied the claim due to some of the cars having too great a gap to the next car ahead/behind and therefore not classed as a continuous parade
does anybody know where i can purchase an a/c pipe removal tool. loads on ebay but from china.was very much contemplating updating my car. quite admired a new nissen quashquai . my mig does go well & has recently passed its m.o.t.(starts on 7th june) though i do need to sort out an oil leak that appears to be a rear crankshaft seal. i have a quote but as yet cannot get a garage to do it. they quoted then gave a feeble reason for not having it in. so if i run it for another year then yes i will get the a/c sorted. i think i know where there is a set of pipes for my motor. will find out tomorrow. he may even have a condenser.no its for separating the pipes . i presume that i shall need one . (never ever done anything to a/c. but do know the two pipes that are fixed to radiator cowl the thinner of the two has suffered from a collision with a crankshaft pulley that came adrift. condenser too is falling to bits.does anybody know where i can purchase an a/c pipe removal tool. loads on ebay but from china.
Do you mean the valve removal tool? If so it's just a standard tyre valve removal widget.
Ah, so I was right that the a/c working is your aim?
Your thread : https://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=144929.0 about the compressor seemed to suggest that to me, and as I put in that thread:
"In my experience the lack of running long term damages the condenser and the compressor. Without the system running regularly the oil in the system is not circulated, and system rot sets in"
So you mentioning now that the condenser is falling to bits falls into the pattern of repairs probably needed to get the system working again. It rots from within, and you will need more than a replacement rubber pipe.
It may not be as bad as that, but before replacing the pipe, check that the rest is working and / or you can replace the compressor and condenser. Even a garage once tried to refill my a/c gas before realising the condenser and compressor were shot; a very expensive project it turned out to be!!

Shurrup Lizzie - it's a strimmer, NOT a mower!
Ron.
Some good pointers in the right direction, gents - thanks. I still need disassembly directions, if any such things exist?
The lady from whom I obtained the strimmer didn't even know if it had a 2 or 4 stroke engine (that's women* for you!), and when I asked if anone added oil to the petrol, she said that she had never seen her husband put any oil in it - could be a clue there?
*Ahem, sorry Lizzie.
Ron.
Well done!!will it start
Now, will this be the shortest lawn mower thread ever,or............................................we shall see where it can be taken
does it leak
have you cut the grass yet
has the grass grown back yet
there you go Lizzie
Because of the high voltages with valve equipment nobody should be attempting to repair them unless they know what they are doing. Old valve CRT TVs have plenty of killing zones including the chassis being used for the live mains supply distribution in many 1960-70's models.
