[QUOTE="MANAMOHAN, post: 117489, member: 2183"] Hey guys, pardon the delay. Dial-up 1515 connections keep failing on me. Regarding Naidu, i've had a bad experience so i ain't going there again. Obviously some of you had happy experiences, so i guess its just one of those things! I saw Naidu myself and spoke in Tamil so no chance of miscommunication... :rolleyes: Anyway, I've spent a fair bit on my air-cond before i saw Naidu, everything but the cooling coil is new. The thing that irked me was that i'd dropped by cos i was bored, and just wanted the air-cond serviced. I repeatedly told him to call me if anything needed changing. He didn't. He also didn't solve the original problem of air-con frosting up, and the tensioner came apart within 2 weeks. One mechanic i saw thought the modified tensioner was pretty ingenious but that it needed another nut to prevent it from loosening. I'm also sure the air-con "On-Off" switch didn't need changing.
