OOH, I missed that that moving gif had disappeared :shock: :shock:

I'm ashamed to confess that when I saw it, I knicked a copy :oops: :oops:
I'll leave it till next week, before putting it up though :oops: :mrgreen:


If a few moving gifs are making that noticeable a difference Welton, I reckon plugging a bit more memory in would help a lot.

My Air Con stopped working and i refilled with a diy kit off ebay it didi leak at first but the can had leak sealer refrigerant and oil in it which cured the problem and it has been working fine throughout the hot days that cost about £20 for the kit i would say dont put it all in at first let it work around to cure any leaks then after a few days put the rest in.

No doubt it will bugger the entire system given time,just like radweld; bet you wished you'd replaced the condenser and done the job properly when it does happen :roll:

Maybe but my dads 406 1.9 td went strong for 3 years using the same kits as me and was still working when he sold it, you dont know if you dont try, im never one to not at least try it. I dont personally know of people who have had a problem with one of these kits.
