Hi,
There is a few places you could try.
But first get the number off the old unit and the then try Ashdown ph32778633) or Cooldrive ph 3623 2133, those two would be a good start.

well I had the royal run around with trying to get a new compressor for my truck. Ashdowns tell me they don't carry a replacement for this vehicle.
Cooldrive told me they had one on the shelf, so went all the way out to Eagle Farm only to find out that the one they had was for a 24v truck and they wouldn't believe that I had a 12v truck. They told me that it wasn't possible to have a 12v FG649. I just wish I had driven it over there coz I would have said, well boys that blows your books out the water.
After having 2 blokes running around find info, one of them told me the only way to do it is to put a 12v to 24v converter on the compressor to get it to work. Then the other bloke came in and said there are some coming from somewhere and the container lands on the 2nd of Feb next year. Until then there are none in the country that they know of. Now this I find hard to believe.
So, it looks like I will have to go down the 2nd hand path and see what happens.
Has anyone else ever found these sorts of difficulties with getting parts or even information for these beasts... I thought they would be as common as mud, hell every business in Oz has a damn Canter. Surely they are not that different between models.
Any suggestions blokes???

I think they had better get some new books.
Secondhand should be common at wreckers and same as FE649. ......... If you still strike out, call me at work.

Hi Turtle,

Kind regards
