My condenser decided to do a wee the other day. It was one of the £60 ebay versions with 2 year warranty but unfortunately 3 years old now. Took it out and there's green dye all over bottom left corner .

Any experience or recommendations from these choices :-

Will probably go for the All Parts Nissens option. The extra £3 gets me a local supplier I know well !! (my son works there). Hopefully Nissens will last longer than 3 years.

The ebay one looks like good deal, but their listing has the wrong part number which worries me.

I got a Hella from AllParts. Same price as you at £107. Seems to be OK so far and required no fettling to fit.

The condenser from Island is the reason I stopped using them.
