I've been trying to source a new A/C compressor for my 03 WJ 4ltr. Can't seem to buy a new one and I'm a little dubious about going down the breakers yard route. I've found one on the Rock Auto site, but I have a question. Their shipping charge seems very reasonable especially as it says 'including import charges'. Has anyone ordered from Rock Auto and not had Fed Ex stiff you for additional fees.
are you sure they are scratches and not cracks, if in doubt, i would exchange that head for another, the "VM specialist " ( 01246 455350) will sell you a exchange overhauled head at a reasonable price, they rebuilt an engine for me for my second 2.5TD XJ at a very reasonable price, i learned that if you have a 2.5TD XJ, and you want to keep it, start by getting the engine overhauled by them, then you will have no further problems for years to come.
