Sound's hopeful! I don't suppose you've got a part number or suitable supplier do you?

Hi guys, I've just had my Octy back from having it's air con looked at. The fault was traced to a "missing compressor clutch cover" Could this be a repairable issue, or is the car doomed to having a new compressor fitted? If it's a new compressor, what sort of "ball park" figure would be reasonable to expect for parts/labour to replace it?
-
Dang. No worries
-
How much for the front headlights?
-
Well guys, I think I've found the culprit! Took off the passenger side arch lining completely and gave the arch a reasonable wash down with soapy water, there was a patch of underbody sealant about halfway up that felt squelchy....peeled back the part that wasn't stuck down and sure enough there was a small hole. Not sure if it was there since new or if someone had previously repaired some damage, but it looked like it was on a panel join of sorts as there was a small ledge, maybe a few mm deep, that water could sit on. Needless to say this has now been plugged up and am awaiting a good torrential overnight downpour to triple check before replacing the interior!

I'll check the doors next, although i think it's coming in further forward. The pollen filter and grommet are all nicely siliconed now so hopefully there's going to be some rain soon!
-
That was my first thought although it seemed tight fitting when i first checked. Just took it out and all seemed dry behind. Decided on the safe/prudent thing and slathered both the grommet and gasket under the pollen filter in silicone! Now for it to dry and rain!
-
Lol. I'm not with the car right now. I Should of thought of that earlier! It's looking forward/up at the front edge of the passenger footwell, with the soundproofing behind the glovebox pulled back a bit.
-
Help!!! after much baling of water and drying out of carpets, I've finally decided that there's still a water leak on my octy :( I've cleared the compost from the scuttle drains and they now run freely, as do the sunroof ones After last night's little downpour I think I've narrowed it down to coming in through the front of the passenger footwell through the drain (?) in the bottom of the attached piccy. only trouble is I have no idea where to look next as this appears to be a pretty substantial piece of metalwork! thoughts and directions much appreciated

Booked the car in next Friday to be looked at by an indy garage, so hopefully it'll just be gas (or something cheap!)
-
OK, there's now a 9V feed from the Fan controller, took it out and reseated all the connectors, must of disturbed it when I changed the battery before xmas. Still doesn't seem like it's cooling very well, is the consensus that a re-gas is needed now? (not sure if it's ever been done before)
-
Cool :-) Guess I know what I'm doing this afternoon after work now!

Check with the meter on my way home just now, all looking normal, not sure if the fans cut in under climatronic control, but can check tomorrow, I know pulling the clutch fuse turns both fans on though (ignition off). I'm guessing the "easy" way to the fan controller is battery and tray out?
