850 AC Condensor swap. Simple?

[u05je7]

Aircon has died and I've had someone have a glance over it. Turns out the condensor has a couple of corroded holes in it. Looked on europarts and various breaker sites and a replacement condensor doesn't seem that much. Is it just a straight forward swap and re-gas or are there other parts of the air condtioning system I need to consider?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Just make sure to pull a solid vacuum on the system before gassing for max efficiency, and install some luminous dye in the lines at the same time. That way, should the condenser not solve your problem, you can break out the UV light and see immediately where the leak is- since leaking freon leaves no trace otherwise.
