The auto electrician advises that the air conditioner compressor clutch has burnt-out or otherwise gone open circuit. I've been offered two options; get the clutch rewound for about $650 installed, or go the whole compressor unit for about $1250.
Wondering if anybody relate how well the compressors last, and so the likelihood that it will be fine and we can go with the cheaper options.
Thanks.

I've got a 2010 LV TDCI Focus, same engine so one would assume same A/C compressor.
Car has 235,000km and AC has never been turned off, if the car is running them so is the AC, still going strong.
I use the heater to control temp inside the car and the AC stays on permanently.
