New member with AC problems

[stu_bat]

Hi Guys, new to this site, I have a 2003 V8 Disco 2 S. Its a lot of fun and a pain in the back side too but I do love the rumble of the V8.


I've been getting a wine in the bearing of the AC unit and was going to buy a new unit on Ebay but I'm unsure if the V8's and TD5 units are the same. Can anyone please assist?

Hi, the units are the same.... there is a slight difference between units made for japan and ROW so avoid a japanese one that's all

Thanks, is there anyway of knowing between ROW (don't know what that stands for) or the Japanese units?

you'd have to be really unlucky to pick up a Japanese one,,,,:angel:

Mine didn't come with a wine in the AC unit. Must have been a special dealer supplied item. Cheers

PS. A good drop?

Can you not replace the bearings?

Maybe you can find something similar in OZ : Land Rover DISCOVERY AC Compressor Clutch REPAIR KIT 2001 2002 2003 A/C - thechillman (http://www.acclutches.com/land-rover-discovery-ac-compressor-clutch-repair-kit-2001-2002-2003-a-c/) dont bother with those years cos it's irrelevant

They aren't that easy to fit... I think I have a post of how (not) to do it somewhere on here, I messed up from start to finish and ended up just buying a new unit from the UK.

Its a lovely red, touch on the dry side with a hint of fruity body.

Is the D2 one the same as the D1/RRC, cos I have one taken out of a 93 V8 RRC here in Perth that is going really cheap to clear. I was told that the D1 version would not fit a D2?

[sierrafery]

The D1 A/C compressor is completely different
