    I agree, part of my day job is repair/service/designing refrig and a-c systems and the Tdi condenser is pretty ordinary.
    The fin spacing is too fine, it blocks a fair bit of air to the radiator and I/C in the little bit of testing I've done. (as in drive up a hill with the condenser and observe temp climb/max temp. Remove condenser and repeat. Re-install condenser and repeat.)

    Sorry I should have mentioned its from a discovery 1

    So for those who want to know, mikes project is more advanced than the story tells, he's doing a good job. I've been unable to do much due to work commitments and dramas (work)( mike understands) so he's basically on his own, I'm just providing the roof and tools.
    On the up side, my dog is giving him the ****s ball ball ball ball ball ball ball ball ball

    Meh - got messed around by Enzed who called me at 4:45 yesterday to tell me that no, they didn't have the bits needed to make up my lines after all, after promising me the world earlier in the day. Luckily JC put me in touch with a guy who got me the fittings this morning.

    Picked up a D1 condenser from Mick this afternoon too, so the defender one is going in the bin
