The us stuff is all for the petrol V8 or v6 supercharger.

Try Napa Auto parts

Yeah. Good point that.

I've got a Sanden comp off a Puma 2.4 which had the internal seals renewed some 3 -4 years ago. Since then I've had it in the shed with bungs in the inlet/outlet openings and boxed to keep it in good nick just in case I needed it.
However times have changed as will be the vehicle in the sometime in the future new car world, and I'm clearing out stuff I no longer euire.
I'll flog it off for what it cost me for the seals ....approx 200 bucks.

PS. I sacked the so called aircon bloke as he was an incompetent who'd never worked of anything other than buzz boxes and didn't know one end of a Defender from the other. :)

The above compressor will not fit a D4, and if you sacked the guy, how much credence would anyone put in his ability to successfully replace the seals.
