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.......... :(



Well, the radiator was a complete doddle. lets hope it lasts a bit ...

AC and Radiator Gripe

Sooooooooo......... after a good deal of time I finally have the inclination to tackle the swap out of the AC Compressor - its causing a whine issue that was originally blamed on the gearbox and is due to be swapped out by a NRF unit MJ recommended.
