Fridge woes hopefully solved.

As I understand it, there’s no filter in the standard system (unless there’s one built into the compressor). The system has never been opened since I installed it so I share your concern as to why it’s generated debris.

As per my comment in post #10...

You have saved me writing up the whole bit but nailed it. As you say, filters are quite cheap but fitting the quick connects and faffing with filling with gas etc would I suppose excuse the mark up. Ice in the system is one of the causes but only if someone has "opened" the system recently to check or fill. Otherwise its debris and my slight concern would be where has it come from? Its not corrosion, the shstem is sealed and full of an inert gas, so is it dessicant from an existing filter or something more onimous as in worn metal bits from normal wear and tear? The new filter will deal with bits for a while though

We carry a vacuum pump and spare gas

Golly! And I thought we carried lots of spares.

I’ll see your vacuum pump and raise you a jigsaw and router.

I think the router might be just a tad OTT

Even if wi-fi?

If only ! I’ve not got a belt sander on board nor a 220 drill (what’s the point when I’ve got a Makita 18 v battery drill) but I’ve got a choice of torque wrenches and a rattle gun. No power plane either. But I’ve got a hydraulic crimper plus all sorts of electrical stuff. Got the Dremel and a Dyson vacuum cleaner as well.

We have two Makita drills but the big 220v drill was the only thing to cut 4" diameter holes through 1 1/2" thick bulkheads to install ventilation for the new lithium battery box

I could have done with your crimper a month ago when I was making up new battery leads!

A lump hammer migrated on board in support of a wet liner resealing exercise. Proved useful ever since. Not everything needs lecky..
