Hi all I needed a new condenser because various stones had gone through mine and the gas had long gone. A new condenser was £550 from the stealers and £70 for a metal patent one. No question which one I got. As it's at the front we thought it would be a bumper off job and a couple of hours work ☹️ oops I was quoted 300 all in parts and labour incl gas. It actually cost 380 in the end because it took over a day and the mechanic lost money and said never ever again if I get one of these I'm quoting 700 before I start it. Literally everything had to come off whole front end and wheels. Drain main coolant too. Be aware folks it's a mammoth job. 2012 Octavia vrs

Hi everyone I have an Octavia 2 vrs 2012 not sure exactly if its the newer style facelift etc but its the one with drl s and front fogs at the bottom and weird sidelights that dont work...wired up but don't light. Only the drls go dim when you put side lights on. I need to get access to the rear parking sensors so I want to lower the rear bumper but not drop it right off. Anybody know the screw locations etc ? I cannot get access inside the boot as the bulkhead is solid but if I remove the plastic panel where the toolkit and warning triangle used to live I can see the sensors. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
