Hi Nigel
When I use the search function, I see that I already answered most of your questions in february:
I wrote:
"With regards to the old compressor, you can cut off the tubes inside the fridge, and seal the holes with a two-component putty, or leave enough tube protuding, so you can solder two small "hats" in the end. Then you could leave the old compressor in place, and forget about it.
Read the earlier posts here on myhanse about the subject.
I know that Angelina has mounted a new system, with the new compressor placed under the seats in front of the fridge. "
As I have said before, I do not recommend to dismantle the pantry if you want to use the materials again. As you can read in my earlier posts, I have made a hole for access to the compressor, so I have experience in trying to save the materials for reuse. I also rebuilt the bed in the master cabin, and also here the wood was glued together so dismantling was very time consuming, and only by luck I saved so much, that I could rebuild the bed with the old materials.
In the post above I recommend to remove the evaporator, and let the old compressor stay, and then install a new evaporator with a compressor under the seat in front of the pantry.
This is still my best advice. Use the search function for more posts about the fridge.
About regas, search "R134a" in the 400 forum. Advanced search of course.
The fresh water/shower pump is under the seat in the shower cabin. It has a screw-on filter that needs to be cleaned at intervals. Beside it is a drain pump to the shower with a filter too. If you  are tired of cleaning this filter, do like me, and buy a Gulper filterless pump.
Check your deck shower rubber hose beneath the deck, it may have a kink there.
The photos of the 370 in construction are still available at:
The BananAlbum
I believe that Hans Leijnse has sold his Hanse, so the photos may be gone some day. If you want to be sure to dispone of them in the future, you can make screen-dumps.
