Bad AC Compressor
Admittedly, this isn't for my LR3 - but my full size l322.
Can an AC compressor go bad and fizzle out like a bad alternator?
I've had a alternator go on my LR3 and the burning smell (and the smoke) was unmistakable.
Not being too familiar with the 4.2 SC engine, I thought it was the alternator again - then realized that is on the other side of the block. Instead, I got smoke, a burning electrical smell from the AC compressor side...although admittedly I didn't see smoke coming FROM the unit. It may make sense that it's finally kicked it...I've lost AC R134a even though I did a recharge and it's not blowing cold at all...
Any input here appreciated.
Thanks.
