The fridge is just not cooling any more. I've been through the usual electrical checks, suspected that maybe the wiring to the fridge may be too thin, but then ended up wiring it up to a 12v car battery with much shorter and thicker wires for several hours to see if that made any difference - and it didn't. Then when the engineer came out to me and said it needed regassing, that's what's lead me to where I am today. I think it really needs another engineer to give it a once over just to confirm, so that was the point of me posting.

Thanks for all your replies. I will look around and see who I can find in my local area. I had someone inspect it already a few weeks ago - that's how I know it needs to be regassed. He didn't mention any leak, though. He wasn't keen on regassing it himself, as he said it's an 'old' type of gas that he was not certified to work with any more. I'll have to see who else is available in my area to do the job and see how much they're charging. I'll post my findings here if I manage to find any useful info.

OK, thanks for your response. I was under the impresssion that they do lose their gas eventually (mine is 9 years old) and need re-gassing from time to time. But it might be a leak as you say, and I'll need an engineer either way - whether it's to fix the leak or to re-gas.

Hi folks, I need my 12v Shoreline fridge to be re-gassed, which uses the R134A gas type - does anyone know of someone in the Worcester area that would be able to come and do this for me? I'm reluctant to get one of the DIY kits, as if you mess it up you could potentially knacker your fridge, and these are worth around £500, so I don't want to risk it myself. Many thanks Nick
