Mate it's pretty well hard up against it. I'm gonna put some thick hose in between the bracket and the AC pipe when I get time. No trips planned ATM and it should be ok on the road. The bloke at TJM said it would be fine with some hose.... They are a pain in the bum to fit with all the bits and pieces running along the chassis.

Did you get your AC fixed? If so, what have you done to prevent it happening again?
