    Default Aircon compressor.

    Hi, I need a new aircon compressor and pully assembly, mine has all but destroyed itself today after a run to and from Brands.
    Also had a trail of blue smoke from the rear right hand side of the car for a short while, It stoped when i slowed down, could also smell burning rubber and carbon like a london underground train. I switched the aircon off at this point, probably just before it siezed. Sounds like a disk cutter in a dustbin now so cant run it untill the repaires are done.
    Can anyone help with getting the parts I need, any help would be much appreciated.

    Ken...

    And have a look at this thread, Ken: https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc26...ead.php?t=5645. I imported my compressor from the States and it's still doing well (so it should - it's only a few months old!). There are also some other threads with similar information but still worth reading.

    Have located one at gtracing price now is £200 + delivery. Hoping to order it tomorrow. Thanks for the help
    Ken...
    Techchoiceparts.com are doing them for $140 plus delivery of $105.5 (5 days) or $76.80 (6 to 10 days) thats about £165 with 5 days delivery. Customs may put their lump on once in the country.
    Any one know what the import duty is?...

    Thought duty would be approx the VAT amount, so 17.5% + admin fee

    Anyone correct me if wrong

    Parcel force will slap a 'holding fee' on it too. Which I find highly annoying considering I didnt ask them to either hold it or even post it. Bastards. They have lost 2 out of 2 of my stuff too. Cant get better service than that!

    Have ordered one from GT Racing paid for today total cost of unit £215 inc delivery. I have to say they have been great and provided me with an excellent service.
    Regarding the auxillary belt are these an over the counter part from motor parts traders or can you only obtain them from specialist places.
