The condenser is almost invisible since so many fins are missing!
Car feels heavier for having some now 😆 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine was nowhere near that bad when I changed mine. If you are getting silver particles on the top of your engine cover, check your air con condenser.

Surprisingly it was still holding pressure, however the fan would go straight to high when ran so hadn’t used the AC knowing it could cause damage. Don’t think there was enough fins left to be seen as particles on the engine cover! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked up my new (to me) 06 ZT 190+ saloon in Royal Blue (matches the 75 ) and drove it the 120 miles home. More than the 75 it cries out for a 6th gear. Great drive though. It has some of the usual issues which I will work through in due course.

If I had a 190 as a keeper, I would fit a 75 V6 gearbox to help things a little.

The 190 has the 2.0 V6 gearbox fitted.
