Replacement AC Compressor for Monaro
Discussion
Hi all,
I have an 04 Monaro VXR LS1, and the old girl is now really starting to show her age
I recently had the belt/tensioner/pulley set replaced due to paranoia about bad engine noises!
Now it turns out the AC Compressor is on it's way out, and having been checked over by the local Vauxhall delear, was quoted £1200 + fitting for a replacement!!! As you can imagine, I politely declined their offer to fix it...
The car's already booked in for week at Monkfish in October for a bunch of remedial work, so I'll give them a call about this as well but looking at their website they don't seem to do a compressor for the Monaro.
Does anyone know of cheaper alternatives, available in the UK? Googling brings up a bunch of stuff about AC Delco compressors in the States or Delphi in Australia.
Cheers!

Thanks guys, the Rockauto is a good link though it comes to around £250 with tax.
There seems to be several different part numbers and fitments when it comes to compressors for the LS1 so I want to make sure I get the right one! Vince do you mean the LS2 when you say later models? The AC Delco compressor has the same part number for both 5.7 & 6.0 versions.
jameshsv thanks, have sent you a PM.
