Removing a fridge van fridge - Sussex

[Sway]

Just picked up an ex supermarket delivery Sprinter - however I don't want the fridge!

Any recommendations for a firm in Sussex to remove completely - including the wiring through to aux battery under the pax seat?

Also, any value in second hand fridge units?

Disconnect aux battery.

Unbolt fridge unit.

Trace wiring back to start point and remove.

Photo and place on local Faceache and/or fleabay.

True - but it is still full of refrigerant!

I'd at least like that removed properly before I start hacking, is it something any garage could do like an aircon service?

The refridgerant is contained in the unit, it's like a fridge bolted to the roof, unbolt it, disconnect wiring and it will all come out as one. No need to touch any internal pipes.

Has it got a red diesel tank or is it running off 12v only?

Yes dependant on condition and type it could be worth £700 2nd hand.

Perfect! That puts my mind at ease.

AIUI, 12v only. From what I can tell, it'll run off engine when running, then there's a dash switch for aux battery if the engine is off.

Main fridge bit doesn't worry me too much. Just big and awkward 3m up - it's the wiring running through to cab then dash that I have an irrational dislike of.

Time to put big boy brave pants on. Tbh, I'd be more than happy with a couple of hundred quid and no fuss!
