    Update:
    although you will see condensors on ebay for this vehicle, these are for the petrol models where the condensor and radiator are separate units. On the diesel model sthey are joined together hence the higher cost. Plust 3.5 hours labour to remove/replace plus recharge amounts to about £600.
    This doesnt surprise me, for this is a car that requires the removal of the bumper to change a headlght bulb.

    It says Sept 05 on, Ours is July 05.
    I spoke to renault, and so did my garage, to double-check.
    Thanks for doing my research for me though.
