P38A Checking EAS compressor

EntropyUK said:

I was going to check the EAS compressor output as per the tech guide. As I need the car tomorrow I am just worried that the blue outlet pipe will twist and crack as the nut attaching it to the compressor doesn't look to be free turning. Also which end is best to remove, is it the one that connects to the compressor or the other end?

It must be the craftsmanship involved!

Rimmer Bros always seem to move the decimal point too many times to the right when pricing their stuff. Dont know how they stay in business, the cost of their MX5 parts is a joke compared to other retailers.

It's not just Rimmer Bros in respect of this item. Price is pretty drastic elsewhere also.

With Teflon tube not being exactly expensive, and the tube nuts and end fitting running at a few pence each, can't quite see how they can charge that. But it's the way of the world.

Incidentally the blue pipe assembly from Rimmer bros. Genuine Land rover part STC2760, is an eye watering £52.82. It cannot cost more than a couple of quid to produce. Where do they get their prices from?
