W203 C Class Aircon Leak

[MERC220CDI]

My aircon is leaking gas, the probe indicates it is somehwere up round the condensor but being new to mercs and not having the nous to work out how take off the front grille etc to get to condensor does the keen mechanics out there have some guidance of what I may expect when I start undoing bolts. All constructive guidance & diagrams are welcome.
If as I expect I will have to replace the condensor are there any after market units I should steer clear of or any that come recommended. The MB unit at £300 from my local MB dealership is OTT.

Got the one for my w210 from aaron radiators good price fast delivery.

Try a search on here as i am sure there was a recent post where a guy had replaced his 203 condensor.

W210 wasnt hard quite a bit to take off for access but nothing life threatening did mine on the driveway.

Once fitted worth a look at quick fit as apparently they regas for £45.
