Re: AC and Radiator Gripe

Wish I had seen your post before ordering MJ.

For condenser I went NRF 'EasyFit' to match the compressor. So it will be an easy fit :lol:

For the radiator I went NRF again - so probably paid more for the badge.......... :(

I think I need a gearbox flush :lol:
Bear in mind the gearbox was in good order when MJ worked her magic on the car when reincarnating it.

If it wasn't for MJ there is no way I would consider still having a D2.
