Urgent help re: Air Con rad & Pipes
Hmm not sure what the best way of resolving this
Spent tonight fitting Air Con to my MY00 Uk Turbo,
1st lesson, check all pipework fits relevant holes before installing in the car !!!
Basically everything fits (some bits a bu66er to fit) and everything is installed in the car, bar checking torque settings, and testing & gassing
However my problem lies in the fact that the two pipes that connect to the air con rad DO NOT fit the holes, im not sure if Subaru decided to change the sizes by 1mm (or slightly less), but that appears to be the difference and the pipes will not go in, so unless I remove everything, then I cant drive the car
Im not sure what year the rad came from, but the rest came from a 99/00 car
Does anyone know if there is a difference
Not sure wether to try and source another RAD, or some pipes, or alternatively file down the ends so I can fit them, and hope they dont leak
If I dont get it fixed, then I wont be going to NBO
anyone in the north west are got a spare Rad I can try my pipes on

Anyone ??
Just been out again, and the condenser I have got, the large pipe hole, has a recess, so its definatly the wrong one for a MY00, either that or the pipes I have got are wrong for the condenser
Anyone got a spare condenser or air con pipe work lying around, need it pretty urgently
