Air conditioning

Has anyone replaced a leaky a/c condenser or is it a workshop job?

Assuming the car has no gas, either already removed professionally or the condenser has a big hole in it(!), the task is quite straightforward for naturally aspirated cars. Supercharged cars additionally have an oil cooler and the intercooler radiator to remove before it's possible to take out the condenser. Mike.

Many thanks it is an XK, it discharged in a cloud of vapour on starting up Having just had it recharged. Can I reuse the existing connections or should I replace. Thanks

All the seals/O rings should be changed as a matter of course. Mike.
