Replaced my condenser yesterday.
Now only needs to get some new refrigerant, probably will go to Kwikfit for that.

This one comes with ultra-tacky 3M tape around the edge of the underside.

It was £256 which included a discount cos I said I was poor and my wife is expecting. I was amazed to get a discount from a main dealer, I'm not even married LOL .

They say it will be delivered, already cut from Sweden and ready to code to the car by this Thursday!

We shall see.

What is annoying is the scum bags that work at the auction house stole the spare keys and will have sold them to a drongo on Ebay. I wrote to the previous owner who told me that he had supplied 3 keys and 2 fobs when he traded the car in at Evans Halshaw .....I got one of each Grrrr

I suggest you go into writing with the dealer and ask for new keys / fobs and get the car recoded, some scum bag out there has keys to your car, they can't just trade on part / ex's without some come back.

Happened a few days ago but just now getting around to posting. I managed to fix two issues these cars are infamous for: the gauge cluster issue and the ETM issue. I took a soldering iron to the cluster chips and finally have gauges working after 6 months without. With the ETM, I replaced the TPS with a contactless version and got the voltage dialed in just right. I also replaced the MAF for s&g's. The car is running much better now.
