Coolant leak - the sequeal

After finding a small puddle next to the drivers wheel for the last few mornings, I have concluded that the rad on that side has finally given up. I've ordered new rads and condensors. The aircon has not worked for the last few months, and won't hold pressure so the condensors are shot (they look like they have been!). And I might as well do them at the same time

My questions are -

what 'O' rings do I need?
and how big a job is it?

I've taken the front off previously to clean the rads etc, which is when I noticed how rotten everything was.

They are part number 999.707.434.41 @ £3.81+VAT each, and you need 4 of them (2 for each condenser). You may be able to get them from an aircon place cheaper - the PET shows them as 10.6 x 2mm.

I don't know if you will be able to see this thread, which shows replacing the rads on a Turbo, which is very similar:

This might also be useful, as it shows the mounting bolts for the condensers, and the connection points:

I pulled my bumper, changed the LH O/S AC Rad and re-fitted in 2hrs........... I'm fairly mechanical but the instructions are simple to follow....
