Air Conditioning Condenser Removal

Just wondered if anybody out there knows how easy it is to remove the condenser from a Disco 3 TDV6, I've had my A/C checked and have a leak in the condenser, looking to get a new condenser but didn't know how easy it is to fit. Can the condenser slide out from the top with very little removal of other parts, or does it have to be removed from the underside of the car requiring ramp, etc.
Any help / advise would be appreciated.

Did you ever resolve this because I have the same problem and am having the same thoughts!

Richard,

I have not sorted it yet, but have managed to get a copy of the Landrover workshop manuals that show how to remove the condenser. It doesn't look to difficult. If you pm me your email address I will forward the manual onto you if you want.

If you're happy to do it yourself, I have managed to find the condenser for £95, the re-gas is then about £50, so could save you some money. PM me if you want details.
