Yes!
I bought one + a Spal fan, they fit with some minor adjustment of the AC lones and you need some 10mm spacers for the bottom. Its a TD5 but same partnumber as the pumas Click image to enlarge Instagram @defender_ventures Empire Tuning - Agent |

The LR AC condensers are part of the frame, cant be bought separately unless count YRM one.

Ok understood so you did/could not fit the condenser in the old frame and fitted without the frame instead or am I seeing that wrong.

There is no frame in Bankz setup.
The aftermarket AC condensers also use a solid frame to replace the bonnet struts. |

The condensers come with the frame. They are not available separately. To remove the condenser means removing the frame as they are one item. The condenser I have has no frame and is a larger condenser overall. Fits in the original position with some.minor bending of the AC lines. Instagram @defender_ventures Empire Tuning - Agent |

I’ve no experience with eBay sellers but can recommend Coolair Logan.

I contacted Coolair Logan and they offer the JLR unit at a very competitive price and their own design for about half that. Their own design is said to offer greater efficiency with better fins.
I order their version which looks to be an exact fit. I'll know for sure once I try to fit it in a few days when my A/C man can empty the system. |

The Coolair Logan unit is an exact fit.
I had a local shop suck out the gas, I swapped over the condenser and the shop put the gas back in. The old unit has seen better days. Remember to replace the O rings on the connectors, they're expensive at about 4 quid each Click image to enlarge |
