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 :y
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 :y
-
I have really enjoyed the day too :y your welcome anytime :-* :-*
Think we should do a "How Too" on replacing the Air Con Pump now though ;D ;D
-
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 ;)

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?? :o ??? - 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" ? ;) ;) ;)

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 :y
