Part 2 thread since the old thread had expired and SBST have also begun mass replacement of the older L8Di AC unit with the LD8u AC unit again.
How does one differentiate between the LD8i and the LD8u? The LD8i has 4 fans on the pod itself, while the LD8u has only 3 fans but of a larger size. A "bar" can be seen from the shape of the pod on the LD8u.

SBS8238E fitted.
Finally HGDEP is starting to refit the aircon units on their Euro IVs...
SBS8137M (HGDEP 100) now fitted with new (and repainted) aircon pod.
Do take note that some of the earlier SLBP KUBs reported with the retrofitted Denso A/C units have had their A/C units repainted/restickered in recent weeks, from the white colour into the usual orange colour.
Example - 8486E (SL 154)
Just a point to add, 8455U's A/C unit has been repainted into the orange colour too. The rest in SLBP should be following suit, so just keep a look out.
On another note, 8135T's (HG 27) A/C has been repainted into a brighter orange too as of yesterday. I saw it at ground level (instead of from a bridge), so someone might want to check 8135T and confirm if 8135T had its A/C unit changed too, cheers.

From the ground level it is possible to differentiate a LD8i from a LD8u. A "bar" can be seen from the shape of the pod on the LD8u.
