Hi all.
I've not posted for a while because my 1998 P38 2.5 DSE had been running faultlessly lately, that was until I noticed that the fuel consumption had got worse. There was also a rumbling coming from the engine. Ah ha, hissy fit time. Anyway, topping up the screen washer while the engine was running, I spilled some then the rumbling went away. Closer inspection revealed that the AC compressor was almost seized, so I switched off at the hevac. The fuel consumption improved by about 7mpg. The compressor is still rumbling, so I'm going to remove the belt until I decide to either get a second hand compressor or a new one. What would you do?
Cheers
Billy

I also suspect that the condenser has a leak somewhere
