Youngest daughter has complained for the last week or so that A/C is working as expected and with grand-daughter in car concerned about heat.

Had a look this morning and the compressor wasnt engaging so suspect low,or empty of gas,so told her to get it checked by local speedy fit place.In fairness they did a pressure test and confirmed condensor leaking and needed to be replaced ,but they couldnt give price until morning when supplier opened,but imagined £150/£200 for parts and 4 hours labour so "wont be cheap"

As my intention was never to of used them to replace decided to do search for new condensor and best price was around £90 delivered, so that the route we will go and me fit it and get them to regas after replacement.

What I need to know is like the Omega ,will a Fiesta have a seperate drier located elsewhere as need to factor that cost in aswell.

Yes Al I had expected that and by looking it doesnt seem too bad,just concerned if I also needed to factor in a receiver dryer opr accumulator as Fords seem to call them as despite a good look couldnt see anything other than the 2 a/c pipes going into the bottom of the rad and would need all parts to hand when pulled apart as cant have it off the road waiting for spares.
