Okay basically my air con blows hot air... i think i have a hole in the condesor... this means i have to get a new one right? how much should i pay for one? obviously im a tight arse and will get a 2nd hand one..
what sorta $$ should i expect to pay?

BTW, reason for it being broke is it has a rather large bend in it... (190km/h + stray cat = snapped front bar and broken condesor)
:evil:

lol...join the club of busted condensors...
i have a hole in mine at the top..tiny pin size hole. easy fix but the taking the front out and the radiator then taking the condenser out an dto somewhere with aluminum welding..etc etc..

i'm after a second hand one for a straight swap. I've seen new ones and they cost a fair bit mate... :(

Karma's a b&*ch, ain't it. :-)

May have a similar problem myself........will find out Wednesday if I need a new condensor or not. Will let you know the cost....

That's an odd place for a cat to sleep. It could easily get hit by a car there.
