Does anyone know where the Aircondryer is from? I have an early 1997 4.2 Cerbera model. Isn't it an bosch or hella unit??

I know and tvrpower also have them, but it is probably a receiver dryer that is on shelf in my area. I live in the Netherlands and if it is a Bosch or Hella item, it is easier........ The receiver dryer is located in front of the left frontwheel in the body.

The A/C Conndensor is a Hella unit, so maybe the reciever drier is also Hella. I'd guess it is a pretty standard item, with standard connections/fittings, noting at all special for TVR, and the size is irrelevant - it fits inside a big void.

I had a 'Hella'(!) of a job getting one back in the spring, amongst other places I tried both TVR Power and Racing Green. I can't remember which way round it was but one had sold out completely and hadn't got a new supplier yet lined up, and I bought the last one from the other, who had no sign of new stock coming in. I hope you manage to track one down.

If you have the old one out then you could try a transport refrigeration company and they may be able to identify it.

If they do then please tell us what the spec of it is.

Bought one from the TVR dealer today. Price is ok and he keeps them on stock. Next time I will go to him again. The box only says: quality parts

partnumber: QC-151P080624

If i get the old one one out and find somethingelse, I'll post it. I googled the partnumber and the brand, but no findings.

Aircon is working again! Hope it is stil leakfree and wil stay doing well.

Removed the old dryer and it is from BEHR/HELLA. referencenumber 20060606 and 2006-06-01. unfortunately the sticker is a bit damaged but another number says 8FT 351 198XX91. Can't read the positions where i put yhe x's. Must say that prices from TVR dealers seem to be good. Perhaps this enables some tivvers to order the dryer just around the corner.

When "google-ing" and looking at a picture (and looking more closely at the sticker, I think 8FT 351 198-091 is the right number.
