its actually Europarts but a cheaper listing

I've just had a TC price of £271 +VAT., but forgot to ask if they are on exchange.

Thanks for that.
Hmmm, I see they say that the Receiver/drier must also be replaced, I assume that is the condenser radiator. Is that necessary?

I used a coolcaraircon.co.uk to re-gas and used their associated a/c parts supply company for the new compressor. I did get an assurance from the local technician that there was no need to replace the receiver/dryer because my system fault was due to compressor leak rather than known seizure etc so guarantee would be honoured. I preferred to deal with people I could talk to during the process even though I was doing the 'donkey work'. You may wish to seek similar assurance? Make sure it is a compressor fault though so far as you can, you don't want to be chasing a/c leaks, that is expensive. At least you have evidence at the compressor.

Thanks very much.

i bought a decent secondhand one from robg to put on mine.i think the going rate for a recon one is about £175.i dismantled one to see if i could rebuild it, but basically it was not worth the effort(no spares appear to be available).

you bar-steward how the ell  did you find that information?
i'm gonna have to get one of these kits,i've got several of these compressors lying around

I had to replace the compressor on the MV6 a couple of years back, as it would only hold refrig for about 3 months, tell tale sign of dye on the middle of the compressor.

Pinky and I did it twice - the first compressor I stole off on of his breakers when he wasn't looking had the same fault, but the 2nd one has been spot on.

Exactly my symptoms. If anyone has done a rebuild, please let us know.
