Anyone know if theres an equivalent or how tough it is to find replacement spares ? Mines shagged a front bearing and in turn destroyed the clutch :x Headed into Darwin tomorrow arvo to try and find something to replace it or find someone to replace clutch and front seal at the very least.

Bloody cars :?

you can get the equivalent brand from repco and places like that but be prepared for a shock. $1000 and up i got quoted. Mine did the same thing. Took it to the joint that rebuilds them in Brisbane and $350 later i have practically a brand new compressor. (all new internals anyway, and a paintjob) The compressor was also filled with oil to suit 134A gas. If doing the job yourself ensure you change the filter dryer, TX valve, etc.
