    Hmm, no

    It a mission and a 1/2 to remove the fridge, when I give it a clean later this year I’ll take a pic.

    After cleaning they turned it on to test, apparantly the amps either dropped or were going up and down, they thought it might have been sort on gas due to a leak. So they installed a connection only to confirm it was full of gas. Amps settle while cycling on for the next four hours under test.

    Didn’t get a pic, will have to wait till the tech pulls it apart…

    He is thinking they might have used a piecing valve, think that what he called it……based on the guy in Kununurra telling me the fridge didn’t need any gas. The guy today said you cannot put a proper valve in without dumping the gas.

    Yes,this guy knows what he is on about,the Bullet Piercing Valve is for testing only,should never be left on the system.
    They love to leak.
    A quality Schroder valve needs to be soldered into the low side of the system.
    Anyway,hopefully it’s all sorted this time.

    Hmm, I’m guessing this is a pinching valve??

    Yes,thats a Bullet Piercing Valve.

    Pierces the copper pipe so the pressure can be tested,using the 1/4 flare port which is capped on the pic.

    After hightailing it from Broome to Perth I’ve notice the solar, semi flex panels, working a whole lot better, they seem to be enjoying the cooler weather.

    Another learning today…….

    We left the defer parked up for 3 and a bit weeks under cover.

    I made sure everything was turned off and figured it would still have charge on our return….

    Er nope, dead flat, BMS had shut down, battery monitor dead as a door mail.

    Sooooo, a quick check of the instruction for waking up the BMS on the battery, out with the jump start pack, it only had 1 bar of charge, connected it up and held the re-start button on the battery for 10 sec, after another 5-10 seconds the battery come to life, quickly started the the engine for the Dc-DC to take over.

    Ran the car for 1hr, borrowed some additional solar and combines with my solar continued charging the battery at around 24amps.

    Only thing I need to do is sync the battery monitor when the battery is at 100%….although I thought the battery monitor would be displaying some but it’s not……will consult the instructions tomorrow

    Next time I think I have a C/B which I’ll switch off or remove tue big arse fuse.

    Just spotted the reverse camera display was left on, that’d do it.
