Hi All
Im in the process of going through the car replacing pretty much everything as but one of the previous owners has kindly removed the Air Con Condensor and im sure a few other things from the front of the car, i have some plugs in the frunk to the O/S that look like they need to be plugged into something but alli have lef in the fron of the air con is 2 cut off pipes, if anyone in the southwest i breaking a rev3 with aircon i am after some parts once i have found out whats missing

[jasongtr]

good luck finding an aircon rad thats not made of dust, around £250 from toyota iirc

[rrx]

Will buying a new rad, but finding the bits that have been removed along with it, so would like to get hold of everything then just swap a knackered rad for new

[jasongtr]

ill have the ac pump the under body pipes well everything other than the rad

the under body pipes are collection only though

[rrx]

Amazingly i still have the pump and eveything up to the frunk, its just the frunk and beyond plus bolts, mountings, sensors etc

[jasongtr]

bodge job of removal then, wonder why it was badly done

[rrx]

The poor car has had lots of bodge jobs in the past it seems, finding them and correcting them at the moment

I replaced my condenser and receiver drier earlier this year, my old rad was knackered, you could just pull out whole strips of the aluminium fins and they would crumble into dust in your hands. Here's a tip - buy the parts from the US for a massive saving, condenser & drier combined came in at £191 including the import fees deposit. Buying just the condenser from Toyota costs around £300.

Receiver/drier - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IWLAEA/ref ... 25410_item

Condenser - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IY6WFK/ref ... 25410_item

Both parts are for a rev 3 onwards and are oem parts so you can buy genuine without paying the silly Toyota tax.

Another tip - get some protective mesh fitted in front of your new rad as it's in a very vulnerable position.
