    Hi James , today I’ve fitted 2 pc fans and a digital controller that I can set the fans to come on and go off at set temps , before I started the probe was in the condenser fins and was 42 degrees , once fans started the temps come down and stabilised at 28.8/29 degrees ,does that seem about right please , hopefully fridge will get cooler quicker now and slightly lower temps

There is another pup in Cotgrave, The Manvers, but avoid the Rose & Crown that has really gone downhill. There are some great pubs in the Vale, which is only a few miles away. Also, good pubs in Weat Bridgford and Nottingham.
