Nice pickup
Looks like she had a fair few problems haha but great to hear your fixing them

Thanks Gt,
Lucky I'm mechanically minded, otherwise this would be a nightmare and expensive

Is $2000 good?

 

[jungle]

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Welcome,

Is the car auto or manual?

Aircon compressor shot (looking for replacement)

I have an old spare aircon compressor, but its from a facelift model, so I'm not 100% if its a fit, I know the power steering pumps definitely changed.

I also think I recall though that last time someone was going to buy it from me, we figured out that some lancers use an identical part and that you can get a new/refurbed one locally. I forget which lancer though.

Car is an auto, COTY model. Would like to swap to a manual.

I did find a A/C compressor on wish that looks like mine, even has the same part number associated with it, but not 100% trusting
