How about a cool suit fitted to each seat and a box full of dry ice?
Seriously, your AC compressor is sealed. How would anything get into it? You would be more likely to damage the alternator or starter motor by crap getting into them.

My mistake, I said serviced when I should of said replaced. The only thing that could of happened is that the seal was faulty, or crud got in there. To have to shell out every few years for a compressor is nuts, so that is why I am looking at alternatives.
Yeah, that's not good. Compressors should go for many many years without dying.Quote:

Either that or they used an elcheapo from a wreckers or something.
I have vague memory of you mentioning about sourcing a brand new one for around $300 or something.Quote:

Imo your over complicating a simply thing.
I'm going with cheap part or poor install being at fault here.
Sure you may do a idler bearing after a few mud runs but mate you gotta expect issues with mud.
Mud kills cars..
You want less maintenance steer around the puddles. .
I usually do take the chicken track, but there is always that time you have to grin and hope for the best.
That is why I pedantically avoid mud and stick with sand. ;) :DQuote:

It could be sand that is the problem too. It gets into every nook and cranny.
