I am looking to get a replacement for my Hitachi, in the '06. It still works but I think it's nearing end of life. Any suggestions on where to source a new Hitachi?
I know the usual suspects (AB, Lucky 8) so looking for other spots that folks have had good luck with.
Thanks,
Houm

LR Direct maybe... shipping will be high, but it is 3-day and I find that even with shipping the parts are still much cheaper than US sources. And dont forget about Amazon. They sell a genuine Hitachi for just under $400.00 - sold by Amazon themselves, so should be no shady selling fake BS going on.
With that said I had a Hitachi and still prefer it, but I got an Arnott compressor (AMK style) on Amazon for just $300 ($578 normally) that was "used like new". Basically a return, it was 100% new never installed. And it works great. Arnott is the only aftermarket one I would trust. So maybe keep an eye out for some cheap returns. Nice thing with Amazon is how easily things can be sent back if not up to par.

I bought the Hitachi from Amazon for my 2006. It's legit and a great price. I also found www.miessler-automotive.com/Discovery-3-III-LR3-L319-2004-2009_1 as a good source for fittings and valves.
