when i did mine on the saloon it said to remove the bumper but you dont have to do this if you get a hand ,,for the bolts that go through the back end of the car just use a nail punch to dimple it out the other way and drill through from the boot out

no they never checked for leaks i will check the condenser to see if it heats up but you cant hear it kicking in.just wondered if it could be something simple like a fuse or relay as i dont think its worth spending a lot of cash on as it aint that hot up here....
