Default air con condenser

Hi

Any advice on replacing the condenser on a 2001 3.0V6 s-type? Do i need to remove the bumper or can i get it out from underneath?

cheers all

From above, I expect, but maybe JTIS says.

If it's like the later ones it's bolted to the radiator, so as JagV8 says out from the top radiator first.
Do you have JTIS? if not you can download it from the forum, and don't forget the intro in the new member section.

You can pull the condenser out from the bottom very easily. Remove the lower coverings, vacuum down the system, pull the lines off the condenser (including the stud that holds the lines to the condenser so that they don't get caught on anything), remove two bolts below bolting the condenser to the rad and it comes right out.
