Hi all, just purchased 1988 TownAce, and this is my first post on the forum.

I was wondering if anyone has replaced an A/C compressor for one of these vans or a related model. I've scoured through some diagrams and used the parts list posts from here to pretty much find whatever I need for parts. Any links or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm in the Seattle area, and so I'm within a reasonable distance to Silk Road and Japanoid up in BC. Have you all had good experiences with them and do you know if they sell/ship parts vs. only servicing these vehicles?

Also, any recommendations for local mechanics. I've gotten a few so far, especially ones that work on gasoline Toyota Vans, but am looking for a solid diesel shop with import experience.

Cheers,

Brett
