Hi all , just went to have the old girl re-gassed by the aircon man who lives oppositte , and he tells me my condenser is leaking . We have had to do a top up for the past 2 and a bit years , so my question is , is it easy to fix , rough cost , does anyone have a used part I can buy , or shall I just open the windows and sunroof , I have to be honest , the engine is 100% I have the refitted autobox from Rob , ( last week ) which is 100% and I dont want to keep throwing money at it . Answers pls would be much appreciatted as normal , pls keep it in laymans terms though as you know I am no mechanic 

Take care

Dave

The condenser is the air conditioning's 'radiator' that lives in front of the main cooling radiator. I priced one up from Vauxhall about 6 or 7 years agao for my Senator and it was around £170, but I suppose there must be pattern parts available for less money.
Removing is just a case of undoing compression type fittings.
