Does anyone know where I can get a new air con condenser?
I can get the entire heating assembly from Rimmers, but that seems excessive just to get the condenser.

Rimmers list them separately on their website?

Re: air con evaporator
In that case I need the other one, that goes under the dash,
is it called an evaporator?

Re: air con condenser
Yes, the evaporator goes under the dash.
As far as I know it only is available as a complete unit.

Re: air con condenser
In cases like this, you need to find out if the evaporator is used in any other MG Rover cars, so you can possibly find a used one. However, the Rimmers price of £180 doesn't look bad to me, there are some really expensive prices if you search. The Rimmer price is for NOS, so new, but been on a warehouse shelf rather a long time.

Re: air con condenser
I would have thought that there should be an A/C shop that could sujest or rven make up something. My cables that adjust the heating have rusted in the on position so finding it hard to get cooling!

Re: air con condenser
I tried the local A/C shop first, they looked up the computer and said " not available". I don't thin k they tried too hard.Andrew Regens wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 8:33 amI would have thought that there should be an A/C shop that could suggest or even make up something.

Any local suggestions??
