Well. Dropped it off at C&E Motors in Greenwich yesterday after hearing some good reports. Very friendly, very helpful, nothing seems too much trouble.

Peter (owner) called me back at 3:30 yesterday to say that the condenser was busted and that the car should also get a new receiver dryer. The only problem he said was that the Honda cost for those parts was £500 and £150 (which matches Lings), and that if I knew anywhere cheaper to get them I was free to let him know.

A quick punt around on the web brought up half a dozen places doing aftermarket condsensers for 1/10th the price of Honda ones. Settled on Advanced Radiators who I've seen a few people mention who could not only do the Condenser but also the Receiver dryer and a new radiator for £128 posted next day before 12, as opposed to the £650 for a condenser and receiver dryer from Honda!

Called him back and he took all the details and he said if I don't call you back we've ordered the parts.
