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.

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.

Yes part was bought a few months ago as a spare and is with me ready to take to Nick if its the right part and your happy to replace it with the one you have ordered from the States once it finally arrives. Im not in a rush but would prefer to have mine repalced rather than buy it outright as I like collecting spares

I have Pm Tony and unfortunately after speaking to Nick he requires the Compressor clutch which I dont have. So if anyone else can help him out with the complete assembly before its too late please do so.

I got mine through Peter Wayte's (Carserve) air-con man. Might be worth giving him a call (via Peter) as he usually has them in stock. Apparently brings his uin from Germany...

Mark, I called Peter @ Carserve and left a voice message. He called back, but in the meantime Nick has ordered a compressor + clutch from the US.
Peter Wayte at Car Serve (http://car-serve.co.uk/contactus.aspx) said he can normally get hold of 260 compressors from his UK stock at short notice (sourced from Germany).
He also seems a very helpful guy and is willing to take a call from anyone requiring help in sourcing or fitting the compressor.
Many thanks for the recommendation, I would certainly have used Peter had we not already ordered one from the US.
All the best, TC

I can vouch for Peter's helpfulness. When mine went titsup and burned through the serpentine belt at Watford Gap (d'oh), Peter took the car in the following miorning from the AA and fixed it the same day. That was after a good while talking to me about it all on the phone the previous evening. Top man...
