Default A/C compressors in the UK?


Hey guys! has anyone in the UK replaced their A/C compressor recently??

.... if so, where did you get your's from?
The last time i bought one (i have broken two already!) i just ordered a reconditioned unit through a parts shop which imported it for me.... but i'm wondering if there are any companies which recondition units here in the uk??

That's what I thought, so I ripped all mine out at the start of last year. Then we got a heatwave for the summer & the hottest day on record :)

You could also try Corvette Kingdom in Norfolk.
