Try asking Richard Monk at MGOC. If memory serves me right, he had exactly the same problem when I saw him last November and was going to get the work done in the MGOC workshop,possibly by our friend Roger Parker.

I had this problem last summer too. Are you sure it's the whole pump and not just the pulley? Mine was only the pulley. I got a 2nd hand pump and just swapped the pulleys over.
Unfortunntely my AA man didn't have a belt that fitted so my wife and I spent 7 lovely hours in the back of several AA vans.... on our honeymoon.

I believe Brian recommends replacing the aircon condensor as well, as any debris in the condensor could soon wreck the new replacement aircon pump - best check with Brian (Scooter) though

When I had mine done at Compressortech they suggested replacing the orifice valve as well. The old one they took off had quite a bit of debris in it so was a good call. Problem though is this valve is under the dash and is a dash out job to get at it. They also used a gallon of A/C flush fluid to clean the pipework. Overall not a cheap job but 100% confident that it was working correctly, no noise and cold air.

The one that Compressortech pulled out of mine was from a-aironline and fitted just 12 months previously. It was seized solid. I'm not 100% sure that the guy who fitted it did the correct fill with oil even though I handed him the spec. I did have to pay import duty at Parcel force when it came.
