Hello,

I started replacing the water pump earlier, and started fiddling with things once I got going :confused: The air con has never worked (no gas) and the bearings are shot. I was feeling confident, so decided to whip it out and have a go at replacing the bearing, then a re-gas and see what happens.

As I was undoing the first hose the casting snapped and the threaded bit is oxidised inside the hose nut :eek: the second one did the same :mad:

No worries, Defenders are all built with standard parts, I'll order another one I chuckled to myself :p Long story short, my compressor and brackets look nothing like what google images show a TD5 as having. I've uploaded a couple of pics - any ideas what I'm looking at!?

To make things worse the sticker with the model number on is unreadable. Looks like a "Sanden Model U 46..."

Any ideas to salvage the hoses would be good too!


Thanks for any info!

The brackets look like non-standard things that have been bolted onto the standard one.

The mounting lugs are "front to back" rather than the standard part's "side to side"
