Bought mine from Rock Auto... along with an ac air drier and my CRV's brake carriers. Damn expensive shipping due to weight, but hey I've got them now :thumbup: Thought it best to preempt it failing in the future. Turned out the racket the car was making was the alternator! :facepalm:

Where is the stone guard fitted/what does it cover?
Do you have any pics?

It's just fitted in the lower section of the front bumper as below.

Hopefully You can just see it.
I made it up to protect from stones ect and I didn't like the lower section looking so open.
Cheers ;)

the grille wont affect airflow over the rad. If you get down low and shine a torch in there, can you see all your air con rad fins?

Lo All :D
I had the AC checked out a few day's ago and they found the low pressure valve had a leak.
They Re-gassed the system but they still think the compressor has an issue.
They said the temperature is fluctuating.
It appears to be working better.
I got a price to replace with a new compressor and also a new drier Re-gas labour and VAT.
£637 :shock: :shock: :shock:
