Aircon pump change
« on: 19 August 2012, 14:38:21 »

Hi, I am a newbie, trying to keep my beloved ex-police MV6 special on the road, unfortunately usually using someone else to do the serious mechanicing.  My current problem is that the aircon has packed up; mechanic says they have tested and it looks as if the aircon pump itself is leaking, but not 100% sure.  I need my aircon for health reasons, so am prepared to sort it as long as the cost is not too high.  Does anyone know how difficult the pump is to remove and replace?  I see them on eBay from £60 ish upwards.

Hi, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
