Hi Phil,
I'm awfully sorry, but it looks like I'm going to have to pull out. My car is still in at Joe Macari as they cannot source a replacement A/C compressor until next week (see my A/C failed thread from 2 weeks ago). I've even asked Zep but no response so far.
They tried to de-gas the system to take the load of the pump and just let the pulley spin, to allow me to run it without the A/C, but the compressor bearing is making an increasingly bad noise, pointing to the fact the bearing is badly damaged and heading toward a siezure. If it siezes and the belt snaps, it takes out the power steering plus other things and they said the risk is too great to drive it. So I'm grounded, sans motor :-(
If anyone else wants my stand ticket, let me know, send me your address and I'll post it out before last post tomorrow so it will arive Saturday.
Gutted.... :-(
