OK folks I have stumbled across a problem, I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee, 4.0 L, right hand drive. I have managed to get the compressor, and I think I’ve managed to find an adequate condenser, but for the life of me I cannot find the receiver/drier, accumulator.


Anybody else run into this issue? And if so how did you resolve it? I have been looking all over the world for one. You would think someone would manufacture an aftermarket product to work. Any help would be wonderful.

 

I am thinking about buying a left-hand drive accumulator and try to figure out how to reroute the lines

 

Is it right-hand drive because of your country, or was it something like a U.S. postal vehicle? There are places that can rebuild your old accumulator/filter/drier. Here's one in the U.S.:

its also possible to fit a "universal" reciever/drier, which requires custom lines to be made.

consultation with an A/C specialist is required, as it depends on what sort of fittings are on each end of the hose, some hoses cannot be replicated

 

Postal vehicle

 

I'm sorry to dig up an old post, but my question is relevant! You mentioned that you found a replacement condenser for this - where did you find it? I'm searching for one for my '98 RHD XJ, and I can't find one anywhere.

 

Looks like your oem part number is 55037 434AA for the RH drive. If you cant find one, you may have to send it to a custom A/C shop. Good Luck!

 

RHD XJ receiver/driers are hard to find try looking for a universal fit unit or modifying a LHD one with custom lines. Some guys retrofit ones from other RHD vehicles like Land Rovers. Worst case, a custom AC shop can build one.
