damage in transit.

what has been changed and work carried out (to also include the mileage
and current mileage when part was changed) must be supplied, failure to
do so will invalidate warranty from the manufacturer. Warranty forms supplied with compressors must be completed.
5. Remanufactured compressors will also require the same information as above.
6. All returned compressors must be returned with the original oil
in place and capped; this is vital to ascertain why the unit has
failed.
Note that no returns will be accepted without prior authorisation.
Upon return of failed item (with a copy of the original invoice or
invoice number) refund will be arranged once inspection has been fully
carried out and item agreed as warranted.

installation/incorrect installation procedures/damage during
installation) then the item will be returned with no refund and will
remain payable to the prices on the replacement part invoice that
refers. It may be necessary to return said item to original
manufacturer where their decision is final and replacement part invoice
remains payable.
Compressors Installation procedure:
All compressors should be replaced once a full system flush has been
undertaken followed with a replacement receiver drier/accumulator and
expansion valve/orifice tube. At this time the system needs to be
checked for evidence of why the original unit failed (fans working
correctly, no blockages, system cycling at correct intervals, correct
oil type/qty) in certain circumstances it may be necessary to change
the condenser. Failure to do so will invalidate warranty.
Surcharge returns:
All compressors that are surcharged must be returned in original
packaging and the fittings must be blanked to avoid oil spillage. Upon
receipt the refund for the surcharge will be raised. Invoices with
surcharge invoiced along with part must be paid in full with no
