Judging by the amount of dye around the compressor I am reasonably confident I have found the source of my refrigerant leak.
As the cost of a new compressor will double the value of the car I am thinking of using one from a breaker, either on here or steve at heathrow.
Has anyone gone down this route successfully? My concern is the replacement may of been on a shelf for months and therefore have dried out seals and be leaking so I'll be no further forward and poorer to the tune of one compressor, one regass and a days toil.
any thoughts?

Ideally you want one of a recently working system as the seals dry out and if you have a V6 I know of one for sale at a good price from a fully working system ;)

if you can see it on the car before buying, that's a bonus, as its common for the compressors to leak... ...of course, unscrupulous sellers can wipe them clean first.

My 03 is leaking green dye in that area. Intend a refurb and re fit at some point. Probably in the middle of a heat wave when it's too late. ;D

Better to just get a known worker which isn't leaking IMHO. And new seals that sit on the top.
Bit fiddly to change,

Sounds like a sensible plan. I'll be sending you a pm.
