Hi folks

I'm replacing my A/C Compressor on the weekend - looks like a mission, any tips or suggestions from those who have done this?

Thanks

That's why I got Dover's Rovers to do the job when mine went. Apart from the fact I know nothing about aircon anyway. :) Many jobs on modern cars I'm not willing or able now to tackle.

How many hours/days did they allow for the job?

I can't remember actually as it was a warranty insurance job and they paid. Around 100K on the clock 3K total which ain't cheap. First time I've ever had an aircon compressor clap out on all the vehicles I've had.
