Frequently asked questions

What does the A/C compressor do on a 300TDi?
The A/C compressor pressurises and circulates refrigerant around the air-conditioning system. Belt-driven from the engine, it draws low-pressure vapour from the evaporator and pumps high-pressure gas to the condenser. This is the R134a compressor assembly for the 2.5L 300TDi turbo-diesel.
Which Land Rovers does this compressor fit?
This compressor fits the Land Rover Defender with the 2.5L 300TDi turbo-diesel engine, in air-conditioning-equipped versions only. Defenders without factory A/C don't use this part, so confirm your vehicle has air conditioning and the 300TDi engine before ordering.
Why would the A/C compressor need replacing?
An A/C compressor typically fails when the internal clutch seizes, the bearing gets noisy, or it stops building pressure and the system blows warm. On a 300TDi Defender, a compressor that's noisy or no longer cooling usually points to a worn or failed unit.
