Option B instead of replacing the 2.2 is I splash some cash and give the 2.2 a bit of love, one thing that failed about 8 years ago is the aircon. But i'd really like it working again, so given the compressor has not fired since about 2008 I think a new one is in order...

Any other sources?

Why do you think the compressor is kaput? 

That's a lot of cash to splash unless you're 100% sure it's necessary.

Mine works fine after a similar time out of action, although I've found that the compressor pipe seals are gone after fitting a new condenser and pressurising the system for the first time in years. 

Get the A/C system checked for leaks and gassed before shelling out for expensive new components, then you'll see what needs fixing. 

ATS didn't charge me either for the initial gas when they found the high pressure valve was leaking.

If you take the car to Serek for the clutch he does an excellent job on aircon servicing - on all Omega's I've taken to him he has replaced both valves because they are notorious for leaks.

A quick pressure test will soon prove if you need a new condenser - not a difficult job. Never needed a compressor replaced in any I've had.
