Re: Good news and Bad news ... looking for help!
this coolant is on the deck outside (yes)
if so had same problem.
leak was stopped by adding another jubilee clip
beside original.
did not remove origonal clip as was very tight
and did not want to risk any other damage to hose or connection point

Re: Could I run these appliances from an inverter?
a simple rcd circuit breaker on the inverter output is sufficent.the inverter has overload protection .and you have a fuse in your mains plug .i dont want to put you off by saying you need loads of extras .but a small consumer unit should have a rcd fitted to it if you got one frank r4dka
