Thread: Holey aircon condenser

Had the 130 (2008 Puma) serviced at Massaro's today, they diagnosed my aircon problem as a leaking condenser, probably holed by a stone. Their price for a replacement from LR is $2200.00. They also reckon about $500 labour. I think not. I've established that it is the same condenser as the td5 models, and I've located one in the UK (on ebay) for $560 plus shipping. Still big money in my book. Has anyone had one of these repaired, or know of a source locally that would be cost effective? The internet is awash with condensers for Discos and Freelanders but not too many for Defenders.
