Car in to get regassed this morning, but I have a strong suspicion the compressor is on the way out, as it whines a bit when on. Other pulleys etc have been checked, and it’s definitely the compressor.

I could really do without lashing out £540 on an OEM one from Rimmer’s, but am a bit cautious about getting a used one fitted, which might be as bad as the one I’ve got.

Anybody got any recommendations please? Can you get good quality reconditioned ones?

Thanks
