I've not had a condenser fitted for a long time, there could be all sorts floating about
I've got a new condenser and dryer ready to go on

Chances are Kermie there is no gas in your system so you could easily fit your new condensor and drier yourself to save time and money and then just get a mobile chap to come to your home and do it on your driveway for you. You can tell them its had new parts already fitted and the system is empty and they can connect up and away they go. I used to have a chap come to me every 3 years and do mine for me. Average cost was about £65. Remember the P38 A/C system has a cut out switch/sensor fitted which wont fire the compressor up if there is no gas in the system to prevent it being damaged. Once it detects gas/pressure it should fire up and you hear the clutch kick in when you press the A/C switch on the Hevac screen panel with engine running of course.

There's no chance of any gas as the pipes haven't been connected for years

I'd happily do it myself but don't have the tech to flush the old oil out or do a vacuum test.

Sounds like a good service, wonder what they flushed the oil with?

No idea. They know what they're doing so I leave them to it

Well I made a start and I would have finished it but the daughter and son in law called and The Boss made me stop and sit in the sun and DRINK with them.

Don't worry about that part Kermie as the new gas/oil procedure will sort all that out at the same time buddy. Save your self some ££££'s and get those new bit fitted yourself and then just get a mobile A/C chap to your home to re-charge it all for you. You can blow an air line through the open pipes if you like before connecting up just to clear any spiders in there. LOL
