Thread: One for the fridgies

Were you my mate's teacher Des? He did a boilermaker apprenticeship at a shipyard in Glasgow. When the tools and equipment had to be cleared from a ship, by the apprentices, careful aim and a sledgehammer took care of any gas bottles.
He reckons rising sea levels is caused by the all the metals in the River Clyde.

Not that I can recall but I used to knock around with a Bloke by the name of Billy who taught me to swear.

He was fairly good on the Geetar as well.

If you believe that you'll believe any olde ****.

It's had a new water pump, thermostat, belt tensioner, belts and transmission cooler.
While there the transmission got a birthday present.
On the way home, the air con got warmer and hotter. Once home, there was no condensation puddle under the car, as is usual.
I'm suspecting the gas has escaped. My question is, how do I trace the source of the leak, so I can decide if the repair is within my scope of practice?
I realise I will have to pay a professional to regas it.

I'm told we only need one kidney.

That's a fact. 'er indoors has only one thingamajig & was born like it. No-one could find a reason for the terrible pain she experienced from time to time not even the bloke with the Magic Egg Beater (no kid )that guaranteed the cure & it was down to an olde SA Sturgeon to locate the problem & remove the offending ill formed bits. What ****ed me off was that her parents didn't seem to give flying **** until I came along & she suffered for years with it. (No not me, the problem, you understand) She now has been living with it like this for about 60 years.



Sorry, what was the question?

Hmm,well,unfortunately, i just spoke too soon,one of the vans came up with a fault code today,Mr Google says it is an injector
So that will be at least half a kidney for sure....

I can hear the tech already,"they are all the same age,so probably be best to do them all" FFS,but luckily there are only 4

Anyway,back on topic,this guy needs the dunce award.

"When the owner of a NSW central coast refrigeration company noticed a discrepancy in their purchase and return records, it triggered an investigation that ultimately led to the conviction of an employee for the theft of 30 bottles of refrigerant.

The employer reported that their employees purchased refrigerant under the company’s RTA and stored it in their work vans. He became suspicious when one of his employees had not been returning his unused refrigerant. The employee said he had stored the refrigerant at his home, but the owner noticed refrigerant for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and it turned out to be the stolen refrigerant."

For those not in the industry,Refrigerants are a controlled substance,and we have to account for it all,keep records,etc,etc,bla,bla.
Apart from the explosive ones that seem to be appearing hear and there.


Doesn't Rick work somewhere down that neck of the woods?
Could be someone he knows.

Probably MI5 and MI6 not putting them back in chronological order.
On an old Pommie truck forum I harang, there is a nutter claiming that both agencies and the CIA are spying on the burnt out old lorry drivers' chatter and drivel, choking the speed of the board. The fact that it has operated on the same platform for almost twenty years is inconsequential.
