MX5 Poofs, attention please.

I don't suppose any of you have an old R12 aircon pump kicking around
that you want to flog?

 

oh dear....

 

I replaced that one last year, and the bloody thing seized up today, a
PITA because it's getting difficult to get R12.

 

My feet get hot, anyway, it was your wood that broke it.

 

Well, it was the trip to meet me that broke it. Carrying Si's wood,
obviously - overloaded the suspension and the stress got to the aircon,
I guess.

Good to meety you at last, anyway - I'll buy you beer suitable for
crying in ... at Chimay.

 

That'll be because it's banned.

Dunno if a drop-in gas would work in a car AC system.

 

It won't. I had the system refilled last year, but the Outlaw Aircon
bloke has go e to ground for a bit, he'll turn up at some point.

 

R12 is nasty stuff

 

Most likely the reason it's fucked is someone will have filled it with the
modern stuff & fucked the seals & whathaveyou.

 

I watched hin do it, unless the cylinder was re labeled it was R12.
The pump was s
A s/h one I got last year from Flebay.

 

There's 3 airco pumps up on here: www.marktplaats.nl

Any good?

 

You might be able to get it rebuilt.

 

I only paid £30 for it, it's not worth it. Some jokers on flebay are
asking £117 for s SO s/h one !

 

get an NC with climate control, they come highly recommended ;-)

 

I've got a new S/H pump for £20, cheaper than a new car. Only problem
is getting it from Rotherham to Hertfordshire.

 

Snipping sigs is highly recommended too - you ought to try it.
