Fingers crossed.

It seems different from when I bought it with the a/c working. I can feel the strain on the compressor similar to my JCW / T5.

£131 cost at LR.

Hi Pete

That was a good episode , they certainally have some good contacts , ie , that guy in his garage fixing the throttle body

Dread to think what all the AC equipment cost and see it was the old favourite condensor at fault Laughing

Must admit , personally prefer the new episodes with Ant Thumbs Up

Just pressure checked my old condenser with water and compressed air.

Condenser matrix oddly okay. Culprit was one of the pipes that connects the dryer to the condenser. Visibly looks fine however add 100 psi and you can see the water weeping from it.
