Air con repairs
I need to swap the condenser and drier on my aircon after it appears to have taken a stone, or generally rotted away through age.
Do you get at it from the back by taking the coolant rad out, or the front by taking the bumper off please?
if both methods work, which would people suggest? I don’t really fancy draining the coolant again if I can help it.

I think you can move the radiator without draining the coolant, so bumper off and remove top brackets of the rad. You'll want to pick up some HNBR o-rings and I got my condenser from here https://www.carcooling.co.uk/condens...0-16mm-15hd320 still going strong 3 years down the road - although I have fitted a Zunsport grille to protect it

Thanks
I complete forgot about o rings, so I’m have got those ordered for next weekend. Already bought a second hand genuine condenser ready to fit.
Looked st it closer today. See that there is a stay in the way, so condenser has to go out backwards, but need to remove bumper to get to pipes and drier. Annoying
