Guess we're all allowed to make mistakes with this self-install-and-save-money idea, but I think I'll stick to computers and stuff from now on. Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
We all make mistakes at some point or other so I am not going to put you down, but.... due to lack of experiance and information from the wrong people (Mr Millenniumair) you could have injured yourself or others that are in the house.

Although most fridge gases are not flamable they are dangerous and should really only be handled by qualified techs (but thats not the law in this country unfortunatly).

Glad to see you have made a wise decision to get a pro in to sort it out, I am sure MRcoolingMAGIC will be able to assist you.
