So looks like theres a new kid on the block
my normal order of the LR023964 has superseeded to this bad boy
mahoosive box where the compressor seems to have been replaced by the AMK version instead of the Hitachi and comes complete with new bracket, pipework, upper and lower covers and a relay and it's slightly cheaper
old one LR023964 was £454.08 retail
new one LR044360 is £426.00 retail (£340.80 forum price)
only thing i cannot find out about is in the instructions it talks about AMK speciofic software required can't find anything anywhere about that, maybe cos the have only this minute been released

I get the feeling that as the retail price is less, it's not so much about an improved product, merely a cheaper (more profitable) offering - or am I a cynic?

Earthquake and tsumami caused LR to look for a new supplier?
Looks like it is more substantial, I wonder if it moves more volume.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Thanks Nick for this info.
I'll pass the Part No. onto Oz forum.
Interesting to see if it lasts better than the old one.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I saw my local dealer updating microcat on tuesday evening when i popped in for something- perhaps you haven't received the latest version that far north Mark.
