For that sort of cash, I'd take a risk on a 2nd hand compressor from a breakers, change the reciever/ dryer and have the a/c system charged by a pro.

Have to agree none of it is too difficult and as suggested make sure you ised a cerified pro to commission and charge it

Go for the second hand pump. Fit it and then take it down to Kwik Fit to regas the system. If it doesn't work they don't charge you. I used them as my free of charge fault finders during the summer. WHen I finally got everything working I paid my 50 quid and was happy.

It's a little can with a couple of tubes and some wires way down below the nearside headlight, or if you do not have fog lights you can see it from underneath. Probably won't need to touch it.
