Don’t quote me but aren’t you supposed to be licensed to work on AC because of the environmental risks? Or is it just the filling/vacuuming side of it? 2012 5.0 SC AB

You can work on them but you are supposed to get the gas recovered by a specialist but as its already escaped you can do it and it involves a bit of dismantling of the front end ie bumper headlights crash bar and top part of slam panel book sys 4-6 hours but if the bumper bolts are taking them out is a pita |

Do all the rads have to come out or can the condenser be taken out on its own.? |

If you can separate them then all the better im sure it says you can but i found it easier to take the 3 out as it was tight |

They are all separate and you can undo them it’s quite tight in there with the 3 of them I also used an aftermarket one which was just over £140 inclusive of vat |

I would have thought £300-400 would be about right.

Apart from the fact there are 3 rads on the supercharged which does make it harder than the disco 3 as i can testify as i have done both of them now |
