    OK, after the last 2 days I'm convinced that I want the AC working. I'm not sure whether the compressor still works, as it's disconnected (no belt)... but I think I'll be giving this place a visit pretty soon!

    Oh, definitely up for a mini-meet sometime Dave... some nice warm evening coming up and it'd be rude not to take advantage

        Tim, it wasn't squeely but it was fairly noisy but i think they just are a bit to be honest...

              More than with most things, it's a case of "use it or loose it" as far as air-conditioning is concerned so the best way to ensure it works in the summer is to use it from time to time throughout the rest of the year.

              This is because the seals need lubricating - particularly the compressor ones - in order to keep the gas in. To do this means using the system from time to time to move the oil around the system.
