i didn't say throw the fridge, just it's technical parts. keep the original look and fit a 21st century compressor.
yes, costs dosh but is well worth it.
aye, it's a tax haven here ,for the tax collectors.
I was planning on pulling it out this weekend, but sods law my gear selector rods/bushes decided it was time to give up the ghost and I lost all gears on the way home from work on Saturday so I ended up underneath the van in the rain trying to figure out what was needed to sort that. now I've ordered some new bushes and bits to (hopefully) fix that problem, the fridge will be coming out tonight to be tested so I will keep progress posted on here with some pics of the condition of the fridge and the wiring set up etc
