Not to worry.. managed to sort it. Used a parts place called VauxCentre, at £95 it was cheaper than some of the used parts on Ebay! Part number for reference 13448376.

Hi, I’ve got a leak in my A/C system. Have you any suggestions where to start looking or is it a garage job?
Thanks

Garage job, who have the proper equipment that checks for leaks.
It's an offence to knowingly disperse AC refrigerant into the atmosphere.

I had a mobile air con specialist come round to look at mine. He had a lot of special equipment for detecting leaks... ran a gas through the system then used a 'sniffer' type device that sensed for the leak. It's usually the condenser.. odd for the pipes to go but I think they may have been damaged at some point, possibly when I had to have a new AC compressor.
All fixed now... cost me around £300 overall though (£35 initial diagnostics, £95 part, £120 fitting, £65 further checks and regas).

I had a garage look over mine today and they’ve quoted me £750 to replace a pipe and regas. It seems extortionate to me. They said the pipe was a dual pipe leading into the bulkhead. Anyone know what pipe this could be?
Thanks
