jeremyinabudhabi Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hello All. I am a new owner of a Santana PS-10 (Anabal). I currently live in the United Arab Emirates and there is not a Santana dealer anywhere. Does anyone know if Defender parts are completely interchangable with the Santana? I took it in to a mechanic and he told me I need a new air conditioning compressor. I was wondering if there is an alternative to waiting on ordering one from Spain. Any help here would be great. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 You can probably salvage the same air con pump from another car and might be able to swap the pulley and mounting cradle to fit your engine. There's probably a label on the side of the unit - if you google the details on it you can probably pick one up off another make and model? No expert on Santanas, but they don't always use land Rover engines, so the pump may not be a Sanden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 you might be able to use a different compressor (as long as the performance figures are similar) but be carefull if you mix and match other components. The condenser, compressor, evaporator and expansion valve are all matched to each other to provide a working (and efficient) system. if you mix bits from different systems it might not work at all... I'd try and find who the pupm is made by (Sanden or York is most likely) and try to track one down through other motor factors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 dash is completly different so very much doubt any of those LR bits will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Engine is a 2.8 Iveco, so it may be worth checking to see if Iveco/ Fiat Dailys with the same engines run the same Aircon compressor. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
