Is that the radiator looking thing? (Cause I believe I have one of those for that shaped liberty)

Its new, unused, direct from Subaru 10+ years ago when I had a 90s liberty diagnosed with a leaking part, (thought it was an evaporator) cost about $500 then.

Evaporator is in the dash and condenser is infront of radiator.

Both will look like a radiator except the evap will be alot smaller!

Daryl, if you get it degassed i can fit it for you if it saves any money! Will just need to regass after

I wont be able to tell you where the leak is because you need a uv light, however sometimes the dirt will collect around the area so it is obvious. Bring it round anytime you like, im home by 4:30 mon - thurs and home by 3:30 on friday.

Or weekend if you like, can tell you then how long it will take to change

Had a bit of a look in the more likely places this afternoon, and came up short, will have a better look tomorrow, hope it didn't go to the tip when we had a bit of a clean up a few years back (pre WRX days), don't think it would have as it something that could be handy one day...
