He was online last night so maybe hear from him today. If he doesn't have any Rimmers show originals at £114. Am I looking correctly? I thought they were much more?

when you say originals, is that because Rimmers class them as genuine?
Yes £114 is correct

https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001576

Rimmers told me they class parts supplied by Xpart as genuine which to me is a bit naughty. In some cases as I cannot imagine parts they have in stock were made when Rover was still around such as suspension springs.
They may be OEM or pattern but original?? I cant say they are better or worse but I question genuine

Yes I should have said genuine. I don't mind buying the part but I just don't know what is best. Jules thread says he only has stock for fitting now so if that's the case not sure what to buy

Hopefully jules will reply soon and maybe suggest something if he can't supply.

Well Dawn, it's simply a case of the right price and choosing a supplier who appears reliable. Here's an example: Cool Car Air Con. based in Birmingham. They give their UK company credentials and have a normal phone number. I have no experience of this company so cannot specifically recommend them, but it gives you an idea of what a Google search can turn up.

A condenser is not a big deal. It's basically a radiator with a pouch of silica gel (absorbs moisture) attached to the side of it. It's the most vulnerable component of your system to external damage. One of mine sprang a leak after a year, just out of warranty. There's no point in spending a fortune on them!
