I am new to the forum and recently bought a 1999 E300D which had been run into the back of a jeep and cracked the condenser, bent the fan clutch, trashed the fan and crimpled the front of the hood and top radiatior crossmember. Long story short i got all the new parts for the engine and a condenser which is supposed to fit however I dont think it will fit a 300D due to the intercooler being in the way. So now I am looking for the correct condenser and I may have found one. My question is does anyone know how to reach the fitting once the radiator is installed? It looks like if I took the bumper off I could reach them very easily. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kip
