Re: [doc] AC Compressor requ'd .. Help

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carcoon definitely have them but I got the feeling things went a bit 
Pete Tong with them supplying parts....(?) Anyway, I do have two 
secondhand compressors but I would strongly advise you to buy a new one. 
The nature of Freon and the way an AC system works means that when left 
open to the air, water is actively absorbed into the internals, which is 
ok for most of it, it can be vacuumed out, but the compressor will get 
rusty inside and seize up.

I bought a new one from Houston at the open house 2 years ago. I fitted 
it about a month ago and when taking the factory blanking plate off the 
back, I was greeted by a hiss of stored vacuum. After 24 years, that's 
quite impressive.
