Title: A/C Compressor Failing
Post by: Smurfette on March 17, 2019, 06:29:55 PM
Good Evening -- shout out to Mike at Mini Parts USA for directing me to this forum. I purchased a '63 Mini almost 2 years ago -- but shortly discovered that it was either modified heavily or just brought over to the states as a '63 (& is probably a 90s)...all that just so you know what I am working with.

I am to the point of getting some spring maintenance performed on her and the shop discovered that her A/C compressor is faulty. Where can a find a replacement? See picture of what is currently under her bonnet.

Contact Sanden? I'll bet they make one....I'll send a note to my brother in England, he has Sanden contacts.

Not sure if these help or not:

Looks like something is out there, possibly one of the Japanese sites. I think someone has posted before with a contact.
