    Default Help! - Urgently need AC Compressor

    Help! My poorly #77 has been off the road at Nick's for 2 weeks awaiting a new Air Con Compressor. The usual supplier is out of stock, and still awaiting shipment from the US. This will put my attendance at Brooklands at risk, but more so, my MGOC trip to northern France on 13th April (ferry booked, hotel paid for etc).

    Does anyone have a compressor I could buy, or even borrow until a new one turns up? I need to get one to Nick's this week if possible?

    Boo Hoo Sob!

    Tony,

    Take a look at these photos and email Nick if neccessary and see if this will be suitable.

    Brand new genuine MG Rover and I shall be going to Austins Garage on Saturday 2nd April for a service on my car and could take this with me if its not too late.

    Hope I can be of some help,

    Paul.

    I'll wait to see what Tony wants to do but getting it over to you should not be a problem. If he can wait until Saturday I'll happily take it with me

    Thanks Paul. I've sent the details, plus the photo's to Nick & Jean. However, when I click on the link to Rimmers, it says the item is on back order, so may not be a fast track option.

    I think you my be misunderstanding Paul I think he has the unit and was using Rimmers as verifying the part as the correct one.

    Stal108 has one on an "old" engine that has only done 12,000 miles - I nearly bought it last week but another came up closer to home.

    Doh, what a dummy!!!

    Thanks for clarifying, I'll explain to Nick and if he confirms it is the right part, I may take Paul up on the offer...

    I really appreciate your help, thanks again.
