I feel it's bit of a false economy not to change the condenser while you are at it unless its been done recently in the past, it's far cheaper than the pipes in the first place so in for a penny in for a pound.
I've got the radiator and condenser out. New nissens ones waiting to go in. Struggling with stripped bolts on pipes. But they will come off with right tool and or brute force. I Have 2 new pipes. And dryer But my main concern was how to actually get in there.
So does removing the bumper actually make a difference to getting in there? I'll need to look again when I'm back at the car. But I didn't think it would as it was so far back in the engine bay.
