Spent the day up at Darth Loo-knee's unit, as we thought my oil leak was the front crank seal. Turns out that it probably wasn't that anyway, so back to drawing board. DLK resealed lower sump as a precaution as well

The majority of the day was spent replacing the ac compressor - what a pig that can be....  ....though we may have found an 'easy' way.


What a fun day it was too, spent most of the day laughing. Rest of the day drinking tea and scoffing the local speciality, oatcakes.


But if I never hear another Rick Astley song, it will be too soon 


I put my bongo bongo tunes on on the way home, made good time


Thanks Darth Loo-knee

I have really enjoyed the day too  your welcome anytime 

Think we should do a "How Too" on replacing the Air Con Pump now though

[Jimbob]

Id have popped down if Id known, sounds like a good day.

If the oil leak isn't sorted we will remove the Sump Casting down at yours

I'll get Omegatoy's my engine hoist back if that's the case

Agree its a bit of a pig to swap - really needs 2 to reattach pipework to top - one to guide socket on from underneath and one up top to tighten (needs a couple of extensions!!)

Also found it awkward to remove/refit compressor - levering the anti roll bar a bit helped.

Most of the day?? - took us around 3 hours including vaccing out and checking for gas tightness.

yeah, reckon we spent a couple of hours on it - by far longest job we did today

C'mon Jaime - a couple of hours or the "majority of the day" ? 

[TheBoy]

most of the day was travelling, he's not exactly around the corner

'the longest job' was probably more accurate.

not gassed yet, neither of us have the equipment

From what Ive heard, you would have done if Jimbob had turned up.
