with new parts?? are they damaged?
I'm pretty sure a new condenser was £150 a couple of years back.
Kwik fit are doing aircon recharge for £45 so I'd reckon you're looking at £300

two bolts and two screws, as long as you let me make sure they'll come off first!

thanks for the advice, i would change it my self, but the system needs to be drained first, the will need to be put on a vacume after and recahrged, so i may as well get the garage to do it.
also is it best to change the receiver dryer as well whhile they are at it?

Yes but that'll be done (or should be done) as part of the aircon recharge anyway so dont let them charge a lot for fitting it.
