you need a grille and an a/c condensor, and a regas. about 300 plus parts. condensor is 140 quid. regas is about 80. grille ebay 30

Just a grill and radiator? Has it dented or removed paint anywhere?

[Rob]

looking at the pics, no.

[Aaron]

Ah a 're gas, rad and grill. Can get grill for 22. Not using air con at moment so can leave that for now?

Seen some rads for around 30-40... Regas 70? What a/c condenser?

No dents no.

[Rob]

the radiator isnt damaged, the condensor is. thats the a/c radiator in the second pic.

if the system has a leak eventually moisture gets in and kills the pump, evaporator and tx valve. not a good thing. id get it fixed, saves money.

[Aaron]

So your saying the thing that looks like a radiator is just for the AC and it's called the condenser?

My air con didn't work anyway. I Dont use it. So shouldn't cause any more damage?

Since it doesn't work would prefer to work out why instead of replacing parts I Dont need.

The second picture is of broken plastic.

[Aaron]

Can this be moved to own thread, didn't think would be as long a discussion?

yes

it could cause more damage.

that condensor is fucked. it needs to be replaced.

Ok I'll seek a replacement condenser at end of month. Hopefully not too pricey either.

But air con may still not work, as it never has.

posts moved for you. Did you keep the pheasant? Sell to a butcher, recoup some of the losses.

[Aaron]

Nah I stopped further down as it was really foggy and had cars up my arse behind.

I wish I did though, eat it and consume the soul of your enemy.

So where does the pheasant come in?

A friend hit a pheasant on the motorway in a Vx4/90 - destroyed the entire front end of the car.
